Vlucht naar Egypte 1775 - 1833

"Vlucht naar Egypte" is a pencil drawing by Jean Bernard depicting the biblical event of the Flight into Egypt. Mary, with the infant Jesus in her arms, sits atop a donkey as they make their escape. The simple yet expressive lines and delicate shading create a sense of quietness and urgency, highlighting the sacred journey. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Bernard's skill and the enduring significance of the biblical story.
