Joseph and Mary Prepare to Leave

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several individuals gathered in a pastoral setting. In the center, a woman holds a child, both with halos. Beside her, a man with a beard holds a staff. To the right, a winged figure guides a donkey, which stands near the bearded man. On the left, another man looks on. The scene includes a thatched roof, a wooden structure in the background, and textured ground. The image appears to be an etching or drawing in black and white.
