The Lord Sweetens the Waters of Marah

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of men involved in a scene. The image features individuals in classical dress, standing and gesturing. Two figures in the forefront appear to be in a physical struggle, while another figure in the clouds above watches. The background shows a landscape with trees and structures. The detailed line work emphasizes the musculature and drapery of the figures, conveying a sense of classical themes and an epic or historical moment.
