The Stoning of Saint Stephen

Joseph Ignace François Parrocel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of multiple human figures in dynamic poses. The figures are reaching upwards or looking at others on clouds. They have minimal facial features and simple hair. The clothing is long and flowing, adding to the sense of movement. Some figures have wings. Above them, a group is seated on and around clouds, with one central figure. The background includes clouds and a structured edifice.
