Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment

Christoph Murer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of robed figures gathered around a table in an architectural setting. The figures are dressed in flowing robes and holding staffs or long objects, engaging in an activity in the center of the room. The background features arches, a column, and a grid-like pattern on the windows, creating depth in the space. The lines are crisp and include crosshatching to show shadows and depth.
