The flight into Egypt: small after 1633

This small etching, titled "The flight into Egypt," is a depiction of the biblical story of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. An anonymous artist created this work after 1633. The etching is a detailed and expressive interpretation of the biblical narrative, capturing the weariness and desperation of the journey. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and measures 83 mm in height and 62 mm in width.
