An etching of the Holy Family, a female saint and a young St. John the Baptist. The Madonna sits at the right, with the Christ Child in her lap. Joseph stands in the middle, leaning over the scene. The long-haired female saint kneels across from the child, handing Him a basket of fruit. The young St. John stands behind the saint. The figures appear to be outdoors, maybe on a porch or veranda; stone walls and pillars are visible in the background.
