Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a scene from "Flight into Egypt" by Stefano Della Bella. The scene shows a woman wearing a head covering and a long dress, sitting on a donkey, holding a small child. The woman and child are positioned on the left side of the image. The woman looks to her right, while the child looks forward. To their right, an older man sits on a rock, looking down and to the right. The background features a large tree with a thick trunk and many leaves, as well as other trees and foliage. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of movement and journey, with the figures appearing to be traveling through a rural or wilderness area. The image is rendered in a detailed, realistic style, with many lines and textures visible. The edges of the paper are visible, with a light-colored border around the image.
