This is essentially a Holy Family image, with St. Joseph on the left, Mary on the right, and the child Jesus squeezing grape juice into a chalice, an obvious allusion to the Eucharist. There is
another tapestry
from about the same year in the Netherlands in which St. Joseph is clean-shaven and offers Jesus grapes. In other images he usually has a beard.
