The Miracle before the Blessed Sacrament

Jean Louis Forain

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a woman standing on a platform or step, with her hands clasped over her chest. She has long hair and wears a long dress. The woman is positioned centrally, looking upwards and appears to be surrounded by a crowd, although the figures are not fully defined and seem more like sketches. Some of the surrounding figures are kneeling. The overall scene suggests a moment of religious significance. The drawing is rendered in black lines on a beige background, with visible pencil marks and some illegible writing at the bottom. The image is titled "The Miracle before the Blessed Sacrament" and is by Jean Louis Forain.
