Flight into Egypt, Holy Family Crossing by Boat

A seated man in a yellow cloak and a woman in blue and red hold a child in a small wooden boat, while a winged angel in orange drapery pushes off with a long pole. Two cherubs peer over clouds above, and a putto in the foreground reaches toward a rocky shore; the painting has loose, luminous brushwork in cool teal and warm ochre tones.
