What is depressing is how Joseph is faded into the shadows. The main focus are the women and their children. This cute painting by Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see the holy family begging. In their early days at Egypt, they had to begged for food. What is interesting is that they are being fed by a rich woman and her servants.
