The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Simone Cantarini

National Gallery of Art

The image features an etching of two people shown from head to toe. The figure on the left is a woman seated on the ground, while the other figure, likely a man, also sits on the ground. The woman is looking down at a bundle she holds in her hands. She wears a long dress and styled hair. The man appears to be engaged in reading or examining an object. He has a shaved or closely cropped head and wears a tunic-like garment. The background includes suggestions of trees or foliage.
