Apostles Peter and John Healing the Paralytic

Lambert Suavius

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures in a grand architectural setting. The architecture includes columns and arches. The figures are depicted in dynamic poses, with some gesturing passionately while others observe. The clothing appears classical. The central focus is a group in the foreground interacting closely. The scene conveys a strong narrative element.
