The Flight into Egypt by Night, Moonlit Engraving After Elsheimer

A night landscape engraving shows two travelers, a woman and a man leading a donkey, walking along a dark path beside water under a moonlit sky. Dense trees frame the scene, a band of light crosses the clouds, and a Latin inscription runs along the lower edge.
