Holy Family? with Angels

British 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of figures in near-full body view. In the center, a seated figure, likely a woman, wears a flowing gown and holds an infant cradled in her arms. Two angelic figures with wings and flowing robes flank the central figures. Another child stands beside the seated woman with one arm around her leg. The figures are sketched with soft shading against a plain background. There are no visible objects or jewelry in the composition.
