The Raising of Lazarus

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of full-body figures in various standing and kneeling postures. One central figure stands slightly off-center with long hair and a beard, wearing flowing robes and looking upward. A partially clothed man clings to him, while a woman in draped garments and a headdress stands nearby. Other figures surround them, some looking at the central figure. The subjects have defined features and elaborate hairstyles typical of the artwork's time period. They are not wearing any visible jewelry, but some hold objects like a cloth or a book. The background includes trees, stone structures, and mountainous or hilly terrains in the distance.
