The Flight into Egypt: Small is a 1633 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a man and a woman, possibly Mary and Joseph, walking together in a wooded landscape. The man is leading a donkey, which is carrying a bundle. The woman is holding onto the man's arm, and they are both dressed in simple, rustic clothing. In the background, there are trees and bushes, and the sky is visible through the foliage. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and reverence. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures in the foreground. You can explore more works by Rembrandt van Rijn.
