The Raising of Lazarus

Léonard Gaultier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a biblical scene with figures, architecture, and a landscape. It shows an ancient cityscape with architectural elements like arches, towers, and various buildings against a mountainous backdrop. In the foreground, figures are depicted in various poses, with some gesturing. A pathway extends into the distance, leading to more figures and structures under a partly cloudy sky. The drawing is detailed with linework showing texture in the figures' clothing and surroundings, resembling early European etchings.
