The Holy Family with Saint John
The infant John the Baptist points to the Christ Child, who holds an olive branch symbolising peace and an orb which represents his kingdom on earth. They stand on a curved parapet enclosing the Virgin Mary, who is sewing. Joseph stands behind, looking away. The painting may have been cut.
