Medicina - Theologia - Lex

James Heath after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two robed figures shaking hands. The scene is enclosed within a circular frame and features two draped figures standing atop a small platform. One figure is holding a long staff, while the other carries a book labeled "Lex". Above them, the title 'Theologia' is positioned at the apex of a triangle with a small winged creature depicted inside. The drawing's composition and classic attire evoke classical or neoclassical style and themes.
