Flight into Egypt, Youth of Christ (series title), Theatrum biblicum (series title), Mary breastfeeds Christ while sitting on the donkey during the flight into Egypt. Joseph leads the donkey. In the background the infanticide in Bethlehem and the legend of the rapidly growing wheat. Some soldiers on horseback ask a farmer if he has seen a family passing by. The farmer says that he saw the family when he sowed the wheat. The soldiers then concluded that it must have been a very long time ago and they stopped the search. On the right against the tree is a figure with a sun on his head. Perhaps he made the wheat grow quickly. Below the scene a reference in Latin to the Bible text in Matt. 2. The serial number at the bottom right: 13., print, print maker: anonymous, after design by: Maerten de Vos, (mentioned on object), publisher: Claes Jansz. Visscher (II), (mentioned on object), Amsterdam, 1585 and/or 1643 - 1674, paper, engraving, height, 191 mm × width, 261 mm
