In this landscape with a water mill by a river, the Virgin Mary and Joseph are on the left on the path, fleeing to Egypt. She is holding Christ in her arm and riding a donkey. Joseph wears a hat and a stick and holds Mary's hand. This is one print from a series of 13 landscapes depicting Biblical and mythological scenes.
