Artist, French, c. 1600 - 1668

This is a drawing of a serene outdoor scene involving celestial figures. The drawing depicts a reclining figure at the forefront, surrounded by angelic beings with wings. One of these winged figures appears to be supporting the reclined figure, while another interacts with a small child seated nearby. Above this main group, additional winged figures are visible in the sky. The landscape includes trees that frame the central figures, and soft, hilly forms in the background provide a sense of depth and setting for the scene. Elegant drapery and a gentle expression emphasize the peaceful and nurturing nature of the interaction. The script below the image suggests a narrative or contextual explanation for the scene.
