This print shows a rocky hillside with two people walking under a huge, leafy tree. The tree’s branches spread wide, framing a small village in the distance. A waterfall tumbles down the hill, and the sky above is mostly empty, letting the tree’s dark lines stand out. The people look like they’re carrying something—maybe a bundle or a bag. Their clothes are simple, and they’re moving toward the village, which sits on flat ground below. This is one of six prints based on Bible stories—check out Baroque for more dramatic art like this.
