The holy virginity, Geertgen tot Sint Jans (studio of), ca. 1495
In this fictional, medieval church building, Christ's closest family, the holy virginity, is gathered, after the old Dutch word 'maag' (stomach) for blood relative. On the left, in a blue robe, is Mary with Jesus and next to her mother Anna. Behind them are their husbands Joseph and Joachim. On the right is Maria's cousin Elisabeth and her son Johannes the Baptist.
