Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment

Christoph Murer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three figures interacting within an architectural setting. The scene is set in what appears to be a stone building with intricate architectural details, including an archway and steps. The foreground features two central figures who appear to be engaged in a discussion or activity. The figure on the right is gesturing towards something on the floor, which resembles a table or stone slab covered in geometric symbols and markings. Behind them, a third figure stands partially in shadow, observing the scene. The drawing is rich in line work, capturing textures of clothing and stone, and uses strong contrasts to highlight the figures against the detailed background.
