The Holy Family on the Steps by Nicolas Poussin: The painting depicts a group of people on stone steps. A woman in a blue dress and red top sits in the center holding a baby. A smaller child stands beside her. A woman in a yellow dress sits on the left and an older man wearing a dark robe sits on the right. A basket of fruit and two pots are positioned at the base of the steps. A stone structure with columns and an archway is in the background. A cloudy blue sky is visible. A potted plant sits on a ledge next to a tree bearing fruit. The people are looking at each other.
