In the left background under two trees a flute player and a listener. The flight into Egypt is an event from Jesus' childhood, described in the Gospel of Matthew (Mt 2,13). Date: c. 1811 Description: "The reproduction of grandiose pen drawings for the "Oeuvres Lithographiques" made demands on Nepomuk Strixner's skills. Simple tracing work did not do justice to the pen stroke. The works shown here can only have been created freely over the tracing after great practice." (from: Winkler, plates 20-21).
