The Epileptic Child Healed

Léonard Gaultier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a biblical scene. The image depicts a pastoral setting with a figure kneeling in the foreground, receiving a blessing from another figure wearing a robe and a halo. Surrounding them, there is a landscape consisting of a grove of trees on the right and a town with towered buildings on the left. Several other figures populate the background, seemingly engaged in various activities. The drawing is rendered in tones of sepia and utilizes fine line work to create detailed textures in both the landscape and architectural elements.
