Teachings on the Coming of the Judgment

Léonard Gaultier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a medieval scene. It depicts a town or cityscape with fortified towers and structures. In the foreground, there are figures engaging in what seems to be a scene of charity or commerce. To the right, there is an open landscape with additional figures, livestock, and a small stone bridge. Above, a divine or celestial figure is depicted among clouds, surrounded by smaller figures. The detailed line work and hatching create depth and texture in the scene.
