Scene depicting the Flight into Egypt. The bearded figure of Joseph stands in the centre foreground, conversing with a young man standing to the right with one arm outstretched. Behind to the left, a young woman leads a donkey bearing Mary and the baby Jesus. The corner of a stone building is visible to the right with trees and sky in the background to the left. The figures are highly illuminated which contrasts with the landscape which appears quite gloomy and steeped in shade.
