About this work

This etching shows the Holy Family on the right, with Mary and Joseph on a donkey, and an angel above them. The angel is surrounded by other figures, and there's a tree on the left side of the image. In the foreground, there are some sheep and a man with a staff, possibly a shepherd. The background is a bit hazy, but it looks like a landscape with some buildings in the distance. If you're interested in more works like this, you might want to check out the Romanticism movement.
