The Holy Family with Saints and a Donor

Saint Joseph is identified by his rod that burst into flower, Saint Lucy (whose name means light) holds a burning light. The woman and the child in the foreground have sometimes been said to be saints, but are more probably a mother and her child, the donors of the picture, although the mother's head has been given a radiance.

This picture is apparently unfinished and is considerably damaged. The horizontal format showing kneeling donors recommended by saints to the Virgin and Child in a landscape was typical of Venetian painting, and the painting has been attributed to Cariani.
