Allegory of Christian Belief

Johann Liss

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing on aged paper with a rough, textured surface. A woman sits in a chair on a balcony or patio, turned to the left. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a long dress with a low neckline, a sash around her waist, and a ruffled shawl or scarf over her left shoulder. The woman holds an object in her right hand and rests her left hand on the arm of the chair. A building's corner is on the left. The background shows a cloudy sky and a distant landscape with buildings. Handwritten text is visible in the top-right corner and along the bottom and right edge. The number "207" is written vertically on the right side.
