This etching by Sébastien Bourdon depicts the Holy Family's flight to Egypt, combining biblical narrative with everyday life. The detailed composition and fine lines create a textured, pastoral scene.
Sébastien Bourdon's etching, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt with a Laundress", presents a pastoral interpretation of a biblical narrative. Bourdon, a French painter and printmaker active in the 17th century, is known for his contributions to both genre scenes and history painting. This work combines elements of both, depicting the Holy Family during their flight to Egypt, a story recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The composition is divided into distinct areas. On the left, Joseph sits near classical ruins, while a woman washes clothes. In the centre, Mary sits with the infant Jesus, surrounded by other figures and animals. A detailed architectural background suggests a distant city. The etching technique allows for fine lines and tonal variations, creating a sense of depth and texture. Bourdon's style reflects the influence of both French classicism and the realism of Dutch Golden Age painting. The inclusion of everyday details, such as the laundress, adds a layer of human interest to the religious subject matter.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
