About the piece

Dating to approximately 1780, this oil on canvas by an anonymous Central European painter captures a quiet moment of the Holy Family. The composition features Mary and Joseph in mid-stride, with Joseph tenderly holding the infant Christ, rendered with the soft edges and earthy palette characteristic of the late Baroque period.
