Aines armen man khind fiel ...

Master of the Miracles of Mariazell

National Gallery of Art

The drawing depicts a scene with a well, a church, and celestial figures in the sky. The detailed line work shows a figure holding another figure next to the well. Two crowned figures are seen in the swirling clouds above. The architecture includes a large church with pointed rooftops, a smaller structure, and an archway. The sky is filled with swirling clouds. A well with a chain-suspended bucket is shown, and there is a sense of action in the figures' body language. The drawing suggests themes of divine intervention and reverence.
