Painting of a Gothic church interior with a crowd of figures around a woman in green holding a book and a woman in blue holding an infant.

The Holy Kinship

A church interior with pointed Gothic arches and tall columns frames a crowd of figures gathered around a green-cloaked older woman holding an open book, with a younger woman in blue cradling an infant at center. Behind them an altar holds carved figures, and the checkered floor is crowded with women, men and children in pink, red and gold.
