The Two Prophets

Jean-Honoré Fragonard after Annibale Carracci

National Gallery of Art

The illustration depicts two figures. The figure on the left has a long beard and wavy hair, shown in a conversational pose. The figure on the right leans forward, with shorter, curly hair, gazing intently. Both figures are draped in flowing robes. Between them is a large open book on the reclining figure's knee. The background has a stippled texture.
