The Holy Family (Christ in the Lap of Truth) by William Blake: A drawing depicts a central female figure with long, curly blonde hair wearing a white robe sitting and holding a naked baby. She is flanked by two other female figures on either side. All three sit on a ground with flowers. A lion and a cherub are at their feet. Behind them is a large female figure with wings and two smaller female figures on either side with hands clasped in prayer. All figures have fair skin. The background is mottled tan and gray.
