Et ecce sedes posita erat in coelo... (God the Son in Majesty on the Throne Surrounded by the Four Creatures and Worshipped by the Twenty-four Elders) is a 1810 ink by Luigi Sabatelli I, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a bearded figure in a robe sitting on a throne, holding a book. Around him are animals—a lion and a winged creature—and people kneeling or standing below. The scene looks dramatic, with lots of folds in the clothes and busy details in the background. The artist used lines to create deep shadows and texture, which makes the scene feel almost three-dimensional. This is a print, not a painting, so the details are sharp and precise.
