Enoch before the Great Glory

William Blake, c. 1824/1827

The image features softly drawn geometric shapes and flowing lines forming an abstract composition. There are circles and curved lines, with a central figure surrounded by three smaller humanoid figures. The arrangement could be interpreted as a central figure seated on a throne, attended by the smaller figures around it. The shapes suggest faces and drapery, contributing to the ghostly and mystical appearance, blending with the abstract nature of the drawing.
