Not all pasticci have survived., Mary and the Christ-child with John the Baptist (as child) (angel(s)), A detailed black and white etching shows a central seated woman with wavy hair and draped clothing holding a reclining child whose body is mostly unclothed and whose head tilts back with a relaxed expression; a second figure with curly hair leans in from behind the woman, holding a small round object near the woman's shoulder, and a third smaller figure kneels at the woman's side looking up while touching the woman's arm; billowing drapery and shaded crosshatching fill the background and frame the figures, and a hand at the top left offers a blooming flower.
