The Meeting of the Apostles and the Women in the Upper Room

Philip Galle after Jan van der Straet

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of individuals inside a dimly lit room. The scene shows them wearing robes and gathered together. The central figure is gesturing with a hand near the chest. Other figures are either sitting or standing, with some in contemplative poses. The room has intricate architectural elements like columns, a checkerboard-patterned floor, and curtains. There are objects on a mantelpiece and a jug on the floor. The artwork is detailed with shading and fine line work.
