Vlucht naar Egypte 1780 - 1810

Joseph Schmidt's "Vlucht naar Egypte" is a drawing depicting the biblical Flight into Egypt. The artwork, created between 1780 and 1810, shows Mary and Joseph on a donkey, with Joseph leading the animal through a landscape. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and urgency, conveying the story of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt to avoid Herod's persecution. The drawing exemplifies Schmidt's skill in capturing detail and conveying narrative through composition.
