This detailed engraving, "The Holy Family in a Room (Virgin, Child, and Saint Anne)", by German artist Daniel Hopfer, depicts a scene of intimacy and reverence. The Virgin Mary, holding the Christ Child, sits with Saint Anne in a courtyard-like setting. The intricate details of the architecture and the carefully rendered figures demonstrate Hopfer's mastery of the engraving technique. This work, created in the 16th century, is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
