The Entry into Jerusalem

Léonard Gaultier

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a biblical scene. The scene shows figures riding donkeys towards a gate in a walled city, with people lining the path and laying down cloaks and palm branches. In the background, there is a cityscape with architectural structures, hills, and trees. The scene also includes workers in a field and a procession of soldiers or guards. The drawing uses fine lines and shading to create depth and texture, conveying movement and storytelling.
