Large painting representing the Holy Family: on the right the Holy Virgin with a golden face holds the Child Jesus showing a thornless rose, with translucent stem and leaves which symbolizes purity and "universal" love. On the left Saint Joseph points to a source of living water to quench the child's thirst. The scene takes place in a cave and in the background, we can see a winged angel in charge of guarding the donkey.
Our large oil on canvas which dates from the second half of the 17th century takes up the composition of the painting by Nicolas Chaperon executed in 1639, but reversed from left to right. The work from the Louis XIV period has a very classic, antique style. It is presented in a beautiful gold leaf frame in neoclassical Louis XVI style dating from the mid-19th century.
