This pen-and-wash drawing by French artist Jean-Baptiste Van Loo depicts the biblical scene of the Raising of Lazarus. The work showcases Van Loo's masterful use of line and wash, creating a sense of depth and movement within the composition. The scene is set in a cave-like setting, with Christ standing prominently in the center, raising Lazarus from the dead. The artist's skill in capturing the emotion and drama of the moment is evident in the expressive figures and the use of light and shadow. This drawing, though small in scale, is a powerful testament to Van Loo's artistic ability and his understanding of biblical narrative.
