The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a 1721 ink by Paul Troger, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three tired-looking people resting under trees. One person is sitting, another leans against them, and a child clings to their side. The background is filled with wild, tangled lines that look like bushes or stormy sky. The artist used a rough, scratchy style to show exhaustion and chaos. The lines are so dense they almost feel like movement. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Paul Troger (30 October 1698 – 20 July 1762) was an Austrian painter, draughtsman, and printmaker of the late Baroque period.
