About this work

This is a grey-toned pen and ink drawing of the Holy Family, showing the Virgin seated beside an elder man while an older woman leans in toward the infant Christ on the Virgin's lap. A carved stone pedestal and architectural niches frame the scene, and faint squared grid lines are visible across the sheet.
