PHILIPPE LOUIS PARIZEAU
(Paris 1740-1801 Paris)
The Holy Family with St. Anne and Adoring Angels.

Pen and black ink and brown wash on cream laid paper, 1774. 328x232 mm; 13x91/4 inches. Signed and dated in ink, upper right.

The source for this scene is likely the legend of the holy family's last meal prior to the flight into Egypt, not told in the Bible but a subject rendered by artists.
