This anonymous etching depicts the Holy Family with young John the Baptist and Saint Elizabeth, two angels above, after Reni, with the scene set in the Italian Baroque style. The central figures are Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, with John the Baptist kneeling at Jesus’ feet. An angel with a garland of flowers, reminiscent of Guido Reni's style, flies above the family, suggesting the divine nature of the child. The work dates to 1585-1615, and can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
