Tailpiece: Selig sind die nicht sehen und doch glauben (Blessed are those who do not is a 1823 ink by Ferdinand Olivier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print is split into three tall panels. The left shows a man and woman sitting in a field, holding hands. The middle has a cross with a figure on it, surrounded by people praying. The right shows a group resting under trees. Tiny figures stand in the side panels, looking serious. The words at the bottom are in German. They quote the Bible about faith. The whole thing looks like it was drawn quickly, with soft lines. Want to know more? Check out lithography.
