The image shows a black and white landscape drawing or engraving titled "The Flight into Egypt (Night)" by Hendrik Goudt. The scene depicts a nighttime landscape with a dark sky and a full moon visible through trees on the left. In the foreground, a woman, presumably the Virgin Mary, rides a donkey; a man, presumably Joseph, walks beside the donkey. The donkey and its riders are positioned on or near a path beside a body of water. The woman holds an infant, presumably the Christ child. On the far right, there are two or more oxen. There are large trees on both sides of the path. The image includes some Latin text written in cursive at the bottom.
