Joseph walks and guides a donkey that carries Mary and the baby Christ on their flight into Egypt. Joseph carries a basket tied to a large stick over his shoulder. Mary wears a veil. She looks down at the baby and cradles him in her arms. There are mountains and trees in the background. Wild flowers grow to the left of the figures. Full-page illustration.
