The Miracle before the Blessed Sacrament (fourth plate) is a 1912 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a crowded scene with a priest holding a large, ornate object, possibly a relic or sacred item. The priest is dressed in long robes and stands in the center of the image, surrounded by a group of people kneeling or sitting on the ground. The atmosphere is one of reverence and devotion. In the background, there are more people gathered around the priest, some with their hands clasped in prayer. The overall mood of the image is one of solemnity and respect. The use of etching and drypoint techniques gives the image a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall sense of reverence and devotion.
