The Virgin, seated in a large landscape, is feeding the Christ Child; luggage is scattered around her. To the right, we see a grazing donkey and Saint Joseph with a pack and walking stick. The holy family here rest as they flee to Egypt, driven away by King Herod’s order to execute infants under the age of two. The massacre is taking place in the distant village. In the background on the left, soldiers ride through a cornfield and another three question a reaper and a child. Further to the right a man guides a horse pulling a chain harrow. This picture is basically a pastiche with elements taken from various paintings by Joachim Patinir. Its painter had so wide a knowledge of Patinir’s repertoire that he was perhaps working during his lifetime, possibly in around 1518 to 1520.
