Noah Leading the Animals into the Ark

Italienische Grafik 1747–1775, 1774

This is a drawing of farm animals and two individuals standing before an ark. The animals include goats, a cow, chickens, and ducks. The two individuals seem to be guiding the animals towards the ark. The scene is in sepia tone with a sketched sky and subtle lighting, creating soft shadows. The composition and style suggest a pastoral or biblical theme.
