Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Jean Leclerc after Carlo Saraceni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows five figures in a pastoral setting. In the center, a woman sits holding a child in her lap. An older man stands to her left, while two angelic figures are on her right. One angel holds a book and looks at the woman, while the other reaches upwards. A donkey is behind the older man. The background includes foliage, a palm tree, and a partly cloudy sky.
