Elisha Raises the Son of the Shunammite

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a biblical scene. The image shows several figures in an ancient setting with detailed attire reminiscent of biblical times. The background features a building with a slanted roof and a small window. Two groups of figures are depicted. In the foreground, one group appears to be gesturing or conversing with a figure outside the building. In the background, another pair of figures stands near a bed. Additional details include a table with vessels and a landscape extending beyond the setting. The style of the drawing, with intricate lines and shading, suggests a historical or religious narrative.
