Black and white drawing of The Rest on the Flight into Egypt. The Virgin Mary sits on a stone Sphinx with the infant Jesus in her lap. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a woman. The woman's face is looking to her right; her head is covered with a hood that has a white lining; she is wearing a long-sleeved dress. To the left in the foreground, a donkey grazes. To the left of the donkey is an upside-down wheel and a broken wheelbarrow. Further to the left, a man lies on the ground. The background is very dark and shaded, with the Sphinx sitting on a lighter-colored ground with sparse vegetation.
