The Flight, with Madonna at Right Supported by Angels

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

National Gallery of Art

The image features a detailed etching showing a man riding a donkey on a rocky path. In the distance, a coastal landscape with buildings is visible. The sky is lightly sketched with birds flying. On the right, two winged figures accompany a person in a robe. Fine lines and cross-hatching are used for texture. The color palette is monochromatic with dark strokes on light paper. The top right corner shows foliage.
