About the piece

Painted around 1700 by the Venetian master Sebastiano Ricci, this work captures a tender moment of the Holy Family. The composition features the Virgin Mary and the sleeping infant Jesus in the foreground, illuminated by a soft light that highlights the rich textures of their robes, while Saint Joseph and attending angels create a sense of quiet devotion.
