"The Holy Family at right, with the infant Saint John the Baptist, Elizabeth, Zacharias, and an angel at left," is an etching created by Pieter de Jode II between 1631 and 1637. This artwork depicts a scene from the New Testament, where the infant Jesus is being presented to John the Baptist. The Holy Family is positioned to the right, with Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus. To the left, the angel sits with Zacharias and Elizabeth. The scene takes place in a pastoral setting, with a tree and distant mountains in the background. This piece exemplifies the detailed and meticulous style of etching, popular in the 17th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY houses this work.
