To Clothe the Naked

Georg Pencz

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an interior scene with three figures. One figure is seated while the other two are standing. The seated figure has a halo around its head and is gesturing with its hands. One of the standing figures is offering a bowl to the seated figure. The figures are dressed in robes. There is an inscription above them. The scene is rendered with intricate details and cross-hatching techniques to convey texture and depth. The composition is within a circular border. The focus is on the interaction among the figures.
