Two Draped Female Figures; Rest on the Flight into Egypt [verso]

Angelo Marullo

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a classical drawing divided into two sections. On the left side, there are two full-body figures shown in standing positions. Both are draped in flowing garments with hoods covering their heads. They have serene facial expressions and appear to be in motion. On the right side, there are three figures seated on a bench or low wall indoors. An elderly man with a beard rests his head on his hand, while an angel with wings leans over him, gesturing outward. A woman holding a child is also present. The background shows an arched window portraying a landscape with trees and clouds, providing depth and an outdoor ambiance. The focus is on the figures themselves, with no visible jewelry or accessories.
