Study for Pilgrims at Emmaus c. 1652

Claude Lorrain's "Study for Pilgrims at Emmaus" (c. 1652) is a pen and wash drawing depicting three figures walking through a landscape. This piece serves as a preparatory study for a larger painting, and is a masterful example of Lorrain's ability to capture the beauty of light and atmosphere. The figures are rendered in a delicate and precise style, while the landscape is painted in a more impressionistic manner. The drawing is a testament to Lorrain's skill as a landscape artist, and provides a glimpse into his creative process.
