The Rest on the Flight into Egypt 

Nicolas Poussin's *The Rest on the Flight into Egypt* depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's journey to Egypt. The painting showcases Poussin's signature classical style with its emphasis on balance and composition. The figures are arranged in a pyramid shape, with the Virgin Mary and Child at the center, surrounded by putti (cherubs) who play in a serene landscape. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the clothing, the landscape, and the cherubs' playful interactions, which are rendered with naturalism and grace.
