Artist, Pesarese, 1612 - 1648

The image is an etching of three figures seated together. A woman and an older man are shown from the knees up, sitting closely on a blanket under a tree. The woman holds a small child, who appears to be asleep on her lap, wrapped in part of her garment. The older man beside her has a beard and curly hair. He is dressed in loose, flowing robes, with a draped outer garment, and leans slightly towards the woman, his arm wrapped around her. Next to the trio is a donkey grazing on the grass. The background shows a pastoral scene with additional trees, rolling hills, and a cloudy sky.
