The Rest on the Return from Egypt

Cornelis Cort after Federico Barocci

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people in a natural outdoor setting. In the center is a woman with flowing robes and long, wavy hair. Beside her is a child offering her a branch of leaves. To the left stands an elderly man holding another branch of leaves, partly hidden behind a tree. In the background, a donkey with packs on its back stands near rolling hills and distant buildings, creating a pastoral landscape.
