Holy Family and Four Saints

John Baptist Jackson after Veronese

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed woodcut depicting a religious scene with several figures. A woman sits on a throne-like chair, holding a child in her lap. An adult kneels before them at an altar, with a book-like object on the base. Another robed man stands to the side holding a staff. Two additional figures are visible, a child standing on the altar and another figure peering from behind the throne with a staff. The background is adorned with ornate patterns, and an architectural arch frames the scene.
