Angel - Trinity Church Mural

John La Farge

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a detailed drawing of a person's upper three-quarters body. The figure is seated with their right arm raised, holding a large scroll or piece of cloth against their body. The face is turned slightly to the side with delicate features and a serene expression. The person has styled hair with soft curls around the face. The clothing is a draped garment, and there are wings behind the figure. The surroundings include a grid pattern and other sketches and shapes in the background.
