About the piece
This 1881 oil study by Brazilian artist José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior depicts the biblical journey of the Holy Family. With loose, expressive brushwork, the artist captures a tender moment at dusk, featuring Mary and the infant Jesus seated on a donkey while Joseph walks beside them, all guided by a celestial angel soaring through the hazy twilight.
