From the museum record

The marriage shown in this painting is called “mystic” because it was a purely symbolic. The infant Jesus places a ring on the finger of Catherine of Alexandria, a fourth-century saint who had a vision of dedicating herself to God and remaining a virgin instead of marrying. Note the otherworldly quality of the women and children’s elegant faces, compared to the naturalism of elderly Saint Joseph, who may be a likeness of someone the artist knew.

Lupin’s visual index

A richly detailed oil painting depicts the Virgin Mary, infant Jesus, and Saint John the Baptist, surrounded by their family.
