That's very sweet!

Here's an oddball one from one of the PreRaphaelites - Rosetti. It's one of his better works.

Rosetti was nervous about perspective and the human figure, but I really like St. Joachim in the background (even though it looks like he handed his halo to the dove to hang onto while he was working).

OMG ... that's funny! We know so little about St. Ann but one can imagine that she was still around when Jesus was a small child and must have rocked him in her arms and sung lullabyes, like all grandmothers do :-)
