"The Flight into Egypt" is a charcoal drawing by the French artist Jean-François Millet. The artwork depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt to escape King Herod's persecution of baby Jesus. The drawing features two figures, a man and a woman, silhouetted against a background of a hazy landscape. Millet's signature use of rough, textured strokes emphasizes the somber mood of the scene. The drawing, likely created sometime in the 19th century, is a testament to Millet's powerful use of charcoal to convey narrative and emotion.
