William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several figures. The central figure is a man sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, facing forward. The man has a long beard, long hair, and a somber expression. He appears unclothed or minimally clothed. Around him are four other figures gesturing or pointing toward him. These figures are mostly shown from the waist up, in various postures. They have detailed facial features and hair. Their clothing consists of draped garments. The background features rolling hills and a building structure to the left, creating an outdoor setting.
