The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Camillo Procaccini

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts a natural setting with a family scene. The detailed engraving shows a lush landscape with foliage around a central scene. In the foreground, a woman holds a child. To the right, an older man observes with a gesture, and a donkey stands nearby. A Latin text is inscribed in the branches of a tree. The drawing is done in a classical engraving style with dynamic lines and cross-hatching for texture.
