The Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and a Female Saint or the Giovanelli Sacred Conversation is an oil on panel painting by Giovanni Bellini, dated to before 1504, when its figure of John the Baptist was copied by Andrea Previtali in one of his own paintings. The identity of the female saint to the right is unclear, but she may be Mary Magdalene or Catherine of Alexandria.
Its last private owner was prince Giovanelli, prior to it entering the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it still hangs. It belongs to the sacra conversazione genre[1].
