Elijah in the Wilderness Fed by Ravens

Jan Saenredam

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man sitting on the ground beneath a tree while two ravens fly by. The man sits with his back against the tree trunk on the right. He faces up, toward the ravens, with his mouth open. The man has a long beard and is wearing a robe that drapes over his left shoulder, exposing his right shoulder. One raven flies above him holding something in its beak. A second raven flies above the first. A large tree dominates the left side of the image. It has a thick trunk and sprawling branches. A brook babbles from beneath the roots.
