About this work

This painting shows Jesus standing on the water of a lake. He is dressed in robes and has his right arm raised. A boat with a sail is in the foreground, and people are gathered around it. In the background, there are buildings and hills. The scene is depicted in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and textures. The use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's use of engraving and cross-hatching techniques adds to the overall effect of the painting.
