Virgin Mary Hushing John the Baptist as the Infant Christ Sleeps
An engraving shows the Virgin Mary reclining beside the sleeping infant Christ on a stone ledge, one finger raised to her lips. A young John the Baptist, holding a cross-topped staff, peers in from the lower left, while a potted lily and a hazy landscape frame the scene.
