The Apocalypse: The Opening of the Seventh Seal

Jean Duvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of an apocalyptic scene. A figure sits on a cloud at the top center with a halo and crown. Two winged figures flank the figure at the top. The central figure holds a scepter in their right hand and a book in their left. The central figure's left leg is crossed over their right. The figure on the left side has large wings and appears to be blowing a horn. Several figures are below, with some on the ground and others floating on clouds. A large fish-like sea creature floats on its back in the bottom center. A figure stands on the right side holding a staff. The background includes buildings on the left. A small inscription is at the bottom center. The drawing is arched at the top and has a white border.
