Raising of Lazarus

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a gathering in a cave-like setting, featuring numerous figures clad in long robes. The scene includes a central prone figure on a makeshift platform, surrounded by individuals with animated gestures. The cave's textured ceiling and rocky formations frame the gathering. The use of line work, shading, and cross-hatching enhances depth and volume in the figures and environment.
