The alabaster artwork, adorned with polychromy, emanates a sense of religious devotion and artistic mastery. In this close-up shot, we witness the delicate hands of Saint Anna and Saint Joachim intertwined in a gesture of unity and love.

The rich colors adorning their garments highlight the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating this masterpiece. Every brushstroke adds depth to their robes while emphasizing their role as significant figures within Christianity.
