The Angels Appearing to Abraham

Francesco Guardi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a biblical scene with several figures. Three angels with wings are present, two wearing loincloths. One angel points upward with their right hand. The angels appear to be standing on or near a large cloud. A man in a yellow shirt and white cloth is on one knee, facing the angels. He appears to be bowing or praying. A building with a column and a balustrade is visible on the right side. A person wearing a head covering peers from behind the column. The background features a blue sky with some clouds and a palm tree.
