The Resurrection

Antoine Jacquard

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with figures and celestial elements. The drawing depicts a central figure emerging from the clouds surrounded by a radiant light, while other figures are positioned below and around. The scene is enclosed within a circular border featuring floral and spiral patterns. The composition is detailed with shading and contrasts, suggesting a narrative or mythological element. The circular format and elaborate border may indicate that this piece is intended to resemble a medallion or cameo-like object.
