Printed from four blocks in light blue, green, and black, this chiaroscuro woodcut shows the Virgin and Child flanked by the infant St. John the Baptist and St. Francis at right. St. Catherine of Siena takes a place on the left and holds a flower. The CMA owns another version of this chiaroscuro woodcut, which differs in the color of the ink used to print it (1960.19).
