Leonardo da Vinci's work The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, also known as Saint Anne the Virgin and Child with a little lamb, depicts Saint Anne, her daughter Mary and baby Jesus. Mary on her mother's lap tries to grab the Child by leaning towards the right, while he plays with a little lamb, a symbol that prefigures his future Passion.
