The Flight into Egypt: The Donkey Led to the River

Herman van Swanevelt

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing. A rocky hill on the left descends to a dirt path leading right to a river. The path curves at the river and continues on the opposite bank. A man leads a donkey loaded with belongings down the path toward the river. Two women and a child crouch together on the left. The woman on the left has an outstretched arm. The woman on the right holds a jug on her head and a cloth. A child stands behind her on the left. Trees and grass surround the path. A full moon is in a cloudy sky. The scene is framed by a border with wavy bottom edge. Text runs along the bottom.
