The Flight into Egypt [verso]

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group with a donkey. The drawing features quick and expressive lines. On the right side, there's a figure seated on a donkey, and another figure is walking beside the animal. The scene suggests movement and interaction. The drawing has a loose, sketchy quality, focusing on capturing the essence and motion rather than details. The background is minimal, emphasizing the figures and their dynamic poses.
