Christ Preaching (La petite Tombe)

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a man standing in the center of a gathering, surrounded by other people in a large space. The central man has raised hands and is standing on an elevated platform. He has a beard and long hair, and there is a halo around his head, with light emanating from it. The surrounding people are looking towards him, some sitting and some standing. The crowd includes men and women of all ages, wearing a variety of garments and head coverings. On the right is an arched opening that reveals other buildings in the distance.
