The Incredulity of Thomas

after Sébastien Le Clerc I

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group gathered in a classical architectural setting. The scene is set in a space with columns and a coffered ceiling. At the center of the composition is a figure with a radiant halo, standing on a platform and surrounded by others. The figures are dressed in robes, and some are gesturing towards the central figure or appear to be in conversation with them. The use of lines and shading imbue the image with a sense of depth. The figures on either side seem to react with expressions of wonder or discussion. The architectural elements frame the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the central gathering.
