Moses Staying the Plague (?)

William Blake, c. 1780/1785

This is a drawing of several figures around a central, robed figure with arms raised. The central figure stands with a flowing robe and commanding posture. Surrounding figures look upwards, with arms extended. The figures are muscular and idealized with a minimalistic background. Light and shadow add depth to the scene, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The drawing captures a moment of significance, suggesting themes of leadership, divinity, or collective aspiration.
