This 1915 engraving by Timothy Cole, titled *Flight Into Egypt*, depicts the biblical scene of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus escaping to Egypt. It portrays a tender moment where a cherub reaches out to Jesus while Mary rests her hand on his small arm. The dark background provides a dramatic contrast, while the cherubs above create a sense of heavenly protection. Cole's work is notable for its meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow. This print, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, demonstrates Cole's dedication to the art of engraving.
