Flight into Egypt, Maria sits facing the viewer on a donkey stepping to the left, whose right front leg has been lifted off the ground. She looks down at the child with a silent smile that she holds in her arm above the raised right knee, while the left arm is turned towards him. She wears a veil with a frowned edge, which is slightly turned back on the head and disappears under the cloak, furthermore a robe with sleeves and a round drilled neck, over which lies the wide cloak, which covers both Mary and a part of the child, but leaves the round shoe tips free. Over the child's head lies a cloth with a winding of the wrappers over it. The donkey wears a bridle, the flight into Egypt: Mary, Joseph, the child (and sometimes others) on their way, Mary usually riding on an ass, anonymous, Utrecht (possibly), c. 1500, oak (wood), h 107 cm × w 100 cm × d 28 cm
