The Raising of Tabitha

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures gathered around a central focal point. The drawing depicts several figures interacting, all centered around a sitting figure in a robe. The setting appears to be an architectural space with tall stone walls and an arched doorway in the background. The figures are dressed in ancient-style clothing, and their gestures give a sense of urgency or emotion to the scene. The drawing is done in a monochrome, sepia-toned style, highlighting light and shadow.
