The Resurrection

after Sébastien Le Clerc I

National Gallery of Art

The etching shows a central figure standing or floating with arms open wide. The figure has long hair and a beard and is only partially clad with a draped cloth. Rays of light emanate outward around the figure. On the left side, a stone slab is being moved by two winged figures. On the right, several people are depicted, including one holding a shield, another pair engaged in a pushing motion. The background includes detailed line work creating cloud or smoke effects and trees positioned to the upper right.
