About this work
This etching shows the Holy Family traveling by boat, with the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph seated beside a donkey while a winged angel steers from the stern. Two children, one of them the infant Christ, sit within the vessel against a backdrop of a towering rock face and a wooded shore. The print was made by Célestin Nanteuil and dated 1833, and its French title, Fuite en Egypte, appears in the lower margin beneath the L'Artiste heading.
