The Flight with the Holy Family at the Right

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a pastoral scene featuring figures and a herd of sheep. A group of figures is depicted on the left-hand side, with some of them reclining on fluffy, cloud-like structures. To the right, the drawing features a herd of sheep being tended to by a figure, who is partially obscured by the tree; nearby, another scene shows a person riding a donkey while another walks beside the animal, using a staff for support. The landscape is characterized by gentle undulations and distant architectural structures, evoking a sense of tranquility, with fine detailing enhancing the textures of fur, fabric, foliage, and clouds.
