Leaf Excised from a Psalter: Flight Into Egypt
The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of a scene from the Bible. The scene shows a woman wearing a blue robe and a red head covering, sitting on a donkey. The woman holds an infant in her arms. A man wearing a blue robe and a tan head covering walks beside the donkey, carrying a long green object over his shoulder. The figures are positioned within an ornate gold archway with blue and gold details. Four blue diamonds with gold borders and a white bird design are positioned at the corners of the image. The background of the image features a beige color with a gray border. The overall design and color scheme are reminiscent of illuminated manuscripts. The title of the work is "Flight Into Egypt". The artist is unknown.
