Buried with Him by Baptism

Paul Revere

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a baptism in a river. The image shows two figures standing in the water, surrounded by the text "Jordan." Above them, beams of light emanate from the sky, where a dove-like figure appears amidst radiant rays. In the sky, clouds are populated by angelic beings looking upon the scene. The landscape includes trees and buildings along the riverbank. An inscription states, "He is my beloved Son - hear ye him." On the opposite bank, a group of figures stands observing the event. At the bottom, the text reads "BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM." The drawing features intricate line work and shading.
