Painting of a woman in a blue cloak holding a child on a donkey, led by a barefoot man with a staff through a dark night landscape.

The Flight into Egypt

A dim night scene shows a woman in a blue cloak seated on a donkey, holding a small child wrapped in light. A man in a wide-brimmed hat and ragged clothing walks barefoot ahead, leading the donkey with a staff in hand. Dark trees frame the path, and warm light falls on the figures.

Una escena nocturna y oscura muestra a una mujer con manto azul sentada sobre un burro, sosteniendo a un niño pequeño envuelto en luz. Un hombre con sombrero de ala ancha y ropa desgastada camina descalzo delante, guiando al animal con un bastón. Árboles oscuros enmarcan el camino, y una luz cálida ilumina las figuras.
