Johannes Glauber's red chalk drawing, "The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Angels," depicts a scene of the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, and Saint John the Baptist. The work, held by The Art Institute of Chicago, features a group of angels looking on as Mary and the Christ Child are seated. An angel kneels and reaches out to Mary, while St. John the Baptist is shown holding a cross and standing with two angels. The drawing, done in red chalk, shows a classical style with a focus on the figures and their interaction. The drawing, while undated, was created during the artist's active career between 1646 and 1726.
