The Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist

Giulio Carpioni

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching depicting a woman seated under a tree with two young children beside her. The woman has delicate facial features and soft waves in her hair, wearing a long, draped garment. The children have curly hair; one is standing with a hand on the woman's lap, while the other is reaching for something on the ground among scattered objects. One child interacts with a small lamb. The background shows a pastoral setting with hills, a tower on rocky outcroppings, and an expansive sky with clouds.
