Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment

Christoph Murer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ancient mythological scene. The image shows an outdoor setting with two older men and a female figure seated. One man is standing and holding a goblet with a face design engraved on it, while the other man gestures towards a columned structure at the center. The background includes architectural elements, arches, and ornate topiary in a terraced garden. In the distance, there is a group of figures near a city skyline. The drawing features detailed line work and a classic style inspired by mythological and historical themes.
