Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Charles Poërson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with multiple figures. A woman in a blue dress and orange shirt sits on the left, holding a naked baby. She wears a cream-colored scarf around her neck. A second woman, wearing a gold robe and having large white wings, stands to her right. The winged woman holds a basket of fruit. Behind them, a figure with red fabric and another with white wings lean over. In the background, a man rides a donkey. The sky is blue with pink and white clouds. Mountains and trees are visible in the distance. A tree branch hangs down in the upper center. The color palette includes shades of blue, orange, gold, white, and brown.
