Christ with Doubting Thomas and the Apostles is a 1848 watercolor by Henri Lehmann, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of men crowded around a figure with a glowing halo. One man kneels, touching the figure’s foot. The others stand close, some reaching out, while the figure in the doorway holds his side. The colors are soft—beiges, browns, and a few greenish draperies—with quick, sketchy lines. The kneeling man looks like he’s doubting, which matches the title *Christ with Doubting Thomas*. The artist used light watercolor washes over pencil to keep it loose and expressive. Check out the technique: watercolor, glazing to see how layers of translucent paint build up color.
Henri Lehmann was a German-born French historical painter and portraitist.
