Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

This is a drawing of a biblical scene depicting the resurrection of a man. In the center, a figure sits up from a stone slab surrounded by a group of onlookers expressing a range of emotions. The setting is a dark, rocky cave with several arches in the background. To the left, there is an elevated group seated, seemingly witnessing the scene unfolding. The detailed line work and shading give the composition a dynamic texture and contrast. The use of lines and hatching enhances the depth and intensity of the atmosphere, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the focal point of the event.
