A Form Has Rushed amidst Them from the Dark

Ferdinand Joubert, after George Elgar Hicks

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four figures in a room. On the left, a man stands with one foot forward, holding a long weapon or stick, wearing 19th-century clothing. Beside him, a bald man is holding onto a woman. The woman has long hair and is dressed in a long dress. On the right, another man with a plumed headdress holds a shield and a bow. The room has wood slat walls, a table with pitchers and a cup, and a hanging item, with a suggestion of an open door or window on the right.
