Le repos en Egypte (The Rest in Egypt)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This print is a sketch-like depiction of three people who appear to be seated outdoors. On the left is a person with short hair who has their back to us. They are depicted in thin, pale-gray lines. On the right is another person with a shawl around their head who sits cross-legged, holding a small baby. This person is depicted in darker lines with sections of crosshatching. Both adults are leaning their heads in towards the baby. On the right is a basket on the ground, surrounded by other indistinct objects. The background is empty, off-white paper.
