This drawing shows a group of robed figures in a desert landscape. One man in the center holds two large stone tablets, while others stand around him with serious expressions. The background has rolling hills, a few trees, and a cloudy sky. The artist used quick, sketchy lines and shading to show texture in the clothing and terrain. The scene looks like a moment of importance, with the tablets suggesting a story being told. Check out this artist’s work: Swart van Groningen, Jan.
