Le Juif Errant

Georges Rouget after Gustave Doré

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a man with a long beard and a staff standing at the foot of a crucifix amidst a stormy landscape. The drawing depicts a scene with a man holding a staff, facing a crucifix with the figure of Christ nailed to it. The background features a mountainous landscape with dark clouds and a church spire silhouette. The scene appears solemn, with a heavily shaded sky and rain streaking down. The ground beneath the man's feet is reflective, possibly due to the rain, and vegetation surrounds the path they are on.
