The Lord Sweetens the Waters of Marah

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures by the water. The image depicts several figures gathered around a water source. One figure appears to be holding a small branch or staff, and another figure is interacting with a large log that stretches into the water. Behind them, numerous additional figures are clustered, and in the top right corner, a celestial figure is seen among clouds. The setting includes a background of hills or trees, and there's textual content below the image in an old European language.
