Español: La huida a Egipto

Un aguafuerte de un paisaje boscoso con un sendero sinuoso que sube hacia el espectador, por donde avanzan dos pequeños viajeros y un burro bajo árboles altos. Una ciudad lejana y un río se desvanecen en una luz pálida a la izquierda, trazados con finas líneas de tinta café sobre papel crema.

Português: A Fuga para o Egito

Uma gravura de paisagem arborizada com uma trilha sinuosa que sobe em direção ao observador, por onde avançam dois pequenos viajantes e um burro sob árvores altas. Uma cidade distante e um rio se dissolvem em luz pálida à esquerda, traçados com finas linhas de tinta marrom sobre papel creme.
