The Holy Family with Two Saints

Antonio da Trento after Parmigianino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three central figures in a wooded, outdoor setting. The main focus is on two women and a child. The woman on the left is kneeling and has her arms around the child, who is standing between them. She has her hair styled in a bun and is wearing a long dress. The second woman is seated and looking towards the child while gently supporting their back. She has wavy hair wrapped in a cloth and wears a similar long garment. The child appears to be standing upright between them and is unclothed. To the right, in the background, there are two bearded men looking towards the group. The background features stylized trees and clouds, forming a serene natural setting that blends with the expressive style of the figures.
