Brazen Serpent, from Michael Angelo is a 1829 ink by William Sharp, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a group of people in various poses, some reaching up and others looking away. They are all dressed in robes, with some wearing head coverings. In the center, a snake is wrapped around a pole. The scene is depicted in a detailed, realistic style, with shading and texture that gives the figures a sense of depth and volume. The overall mood is one of tension and drama, as if the people are reacting to something unseen. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
