This anonymous drawing, "The Incredulity of Saint Thomas," depicts a scene from the Gospel of John, in which the apostle Thomas doubts the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the drawing, Jesus is shown with his wounds visible, asking Thomas to touch them. The scene is filled with the apostles looking on with various expressions of awe, wonder, and disbelief. The composition of the scene is tightly packed, contributing to the sense of wonder and excitement. The drawing's hatching, with the use of light and dark lines, creates a sense of depth and form to the figures.
