The Flight with Joseph in the Foreground

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a scene with figures moving along a curved path. The horizon is low, with wispy clouds and hills in the distance. A small structure is visible on the horizon. The detailed etching lines capture texture of trees and clothing. In the foreground, there are sheep and a group of figures, including a man, a woman with a child on a donkey. Tall trees are on the right side. The color scheme is monochrome, using blacks, grays, and whites to emphasize texture and shading.
