The Flight into Egypt

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group traveling in a serene woodland clearing. One figure is riding an animal, likely a donkey, with a child. Another figure is guiding the animal with a stick and carrying items. Above them, cherubs or angels are flying in the sky. The landscape is lush with hills and foliage. Latin text at the bottom adds to the narrative. The style is classical with detailed lines and shading.
