Les Festes du mois d'Avril (April: The Resurrection)

Léonard Gaultier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a resurrection scene. The central figure is in dramatic motion, ascending with a halo and holding a banner. Surrounding the central figure are clouds, and soldiers in classical attire at the lower portion of the scene. In the background to the left, there is a crucified figure on a cross. The landscape includes rolling hills and distant settlements. The artwork is intricately detailed with fine lines and shading typical of prints from the early modern period.
