Heilige familie met Johannes bij een gordijn 1634 - 1679

"Heilige familie met Johannes bij een gordijn" (Holy Family with John the Baptist by a Curtain) is a 17th-century etching by Nicolas Pierre Loir, a French artist known for his religious and mythological subjects. This small artwork, measuring just 150 mm in height and 114 mm in width, depicts the traditional biblical scene of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, along with young John the Baptist. Loir's meticulous detail and the use of strong lines create a sense of depth and realism, typical of the Baroque era. This etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in the Netherlands, a testament to Loir's enduring artistic legacy.
