Flight into Egypt: The Holy Family Passing near a Pyramid

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene with a pyramid, a donkey, and several people. The pyramid is on the left, large and rectangular with many horizontal lines indicating its blocks. To the right, a man leads a donkey up a path; the man has a halo above his head and holds a long stick. On the donkey, a woman with a halo sits with a large cloth covering her head and body; a young child sits in front of her. An angel with wings and a halo flies above the donkey. Two cherubs fly above the angel. The background shows a hazy sky and some mountains on the right. The drawing has a rough texture and is surrounded by a thin black border on a beige background.
