Holy Family ( St. John Elizabeth And Zachariah ) Oil Painting On Canvas.

Particular iconography where in the foreground figure the family of St. John stooping to receive the blessing of his father Zechariah while his mother's gaze watches over him. In the background, figures and architecture accompany the gaze as far as a figure in the river landscape (river Jordan?) from the back. One can clearly make out the pastoral staff and the red mantle, the Baptist's identifying symbols; in fact, even the young St. John in the foreground is not wearing the traditional camel's hair but has a red mantle.
The painting, which can be dated between the Roman and Tuscan schools, can be dated to the 17th century and is set in a beautiful coeval Roman frame with a large ebonised sgolo and finely carved and gilded outer order and rebate. External measurements with frame: 71 x 86 cm
