The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saint John

Schelte Adams Bolswert, after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image features four figures in an architectural setting. On the left, an older woman stands, holding the shoulders of a young child who is leaning towards a baby sitting on the lap of another woman. The baby reaches towards a lamb lying beside them. The seated woman has dark hair covered with a draped fabric, wearing a flowing garment. The older woman wears a robe and head covering. The young child is barefoot, and they are surrounded by stone columns under a cloudy sky.
