1522 (ca.), Luca Signorelli, Holy Family with Zechariah, Elizabeth and the Infant Saint John the Baptist -- Gemäldegalerie (Berlin)
From the museum label: Luca Signorelli represents the family of Jesus Christ: his mother Mary with a blue cloak and his father Joseph as well as the seated Zechariah and Mary's cousin Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist. The children's game is significant: John pours water over the head of Jesus, prefiguring his baptism of Jesus as an adult.
