Antique Painting Religious Subject Oil On Canvas XVII Century

Oil on canvas. 17th-century Venetian school.
The figures, depicted in the foreground as half-length portraits, show Mary in the center holding the Infant Jesus; behind them on the left is Saint Joseph, and below him is the young John the Baptist, dressed in animal skins and holding the traditional cross-shaped staff with a band bearing the inscription “Ecce Agnus Dei.”
The gazes of these four figures are directed to the left, where Saint Catherine of Siena appears, recognizable by the black habit of the Dominican sisters and by her iconographic attributes: the crown of thorns, the stigmata, and the lily.
Jesus is reaching out his hands toward her to seal the mystical marriage that characterized the saint.
Restored and retouched, the painting shows widespread small areas of color loss.
