Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

Three figures are depicted in the image. A woman is shown sitting with a child in her arms. The woman has closed eyes, delicate facial features, and styled hair. She wears draped garments and bare feet are visible beneath her dress. The child sitting on her lap has curly hair and is holding a small object. To the left stands a bearded man with a hat, looking at the pair. His hand rests on a tree branch. The background shows trees and a basket of fruit on the ground. The engraving features fine lines and shading.
