Le miraculé devant l'ostensoir (4e planche) (The Miracle before the Blessed Sacrament) (fourth plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a religious scene involving a priest and several figures. The drawing depicts a central figure, presumably a priest, holding a large, ornate object that resembles a monstrance, while another figure stands to the right. In the background, there are multiple figures lying on beds or pallets. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines, giving the scene a sense of movement and emotion. The style suggests a focus on conveying the solemnity and gravity of the moment depicted.
