Confirmation

Jean Dughet, after Nicolas Poussin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of multiple figures in an architectural setting. The figures are arranged in a classical architectural environment with arches and columns. They appear to be interacting, some seated and others standing, dressed in draped garments. In the background, there is an alcove with a statue. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques provide texture and shading.
