The Flight into Egypt

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white engraving of a scene with two people and a donkey. The woman sits on the donkey, wearing a headdress and a long dress. The man walks beside the donkey, wearing a hat, a short jacket, and pants. He holds a long staff in one hand. The donkey has a pack on its back. The scene is set in a wooded area with trees and bushes. A palm tree is on the left. In the background, there are clouds and several small winged figures. The sky is cloudy. The overall atmosphere suggests a biblical scene, specifically "The Flight into Egypt". The engraving is detailed and intricate, with many lines and textures.
