God Appearing to Noah

Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of several figures at a doorway. Two figures are on the left, one carrying the other, approaching a large wooden door. Nearby, a robed figure kneels on the ground, embracing a child. On the right, a woman carrying a child stands at the doorway. The pen-and-ink drawing shows texture and depth in the robes and door. Diagonal lines create a sense of movement and urgency.
