Christ Appearing to His Disciples After the Resurrection

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This colorful print depicts a man standing with his arms slightly spread and facing outward, wearing a draped white garment that covers the lower half of his body and leaves most of the upper half bare. The man has pale skin with some areas of light pink, long, wavy blond hair, and a blond beard. There are two thin red gashes on his palms and his visible foot. He is surrounded by kneeling people who all have light skin and blond hair. On the left, a kneeling person with curly blonde hair looks up at the central man with their hands raised, wearing a light blue garment. On the right, two people kneel with their heads bowed to the ground, draped in blue and pink garments. The background is a gradient of golden and soft brown hues, creating a circle of light around the central man.
