The Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth and Saint John the Baptist

Sir David Wilkie

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people sitting closely together. Two adults have serene facial expressions and wear flowing, light-colored garments and head coverings. The third person, possibly a child, is leaning forward with their back facing the viewer. They are all looking at an open book. The backdrop is a textured sky transitioning from golden yellow at the top to darker, earthy tones at the bottom.
