Español: La Sagrada Familia descansando entre animales en Egipto

Una escena grabada en la que la Virgen María está sentada con el Niño Jesús en el regazo, mientras un hombre mayor con túnica permanece de pie junto a ellos. Querubines, un burro, un buey y un ave los rodean en un paisaje montañoso y rocoso, con una esfinge sobre un pedestal a la izquierda.
