A painting depicting "The Return of the Holy Family to Nazareth" by Nicolas Poussin. The scene shows the Holy Family in a landscape. The woman, wearing a blue head covering and long blue fabric wrapped around her body, stands on the shore. She faces towards a man and a naked baby in a boat on the water. The man, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist, holds up a long pole. The woman's gaze is directed upwards. Above them, a group of angels and a figure wearing red are on a cloud. There are trees on either side of the painting, and a body of water stretches across the bottom. The background features more trees, hills, and a partly cloudy sky.
