The Holy Family with Saints Anne and Catherine of Alexandria

An oil painting of the Virgin Mary seated in blue and red robes, holding the infant Jesus, who reaches toward a kneeling young woman in gold and white. An older woman in a headscarf and a bearded man stand in the dim background. Dark, warm tones and strong lighting focus attention on the central group.
