The Descent of Peace

William Blake, c. 1815

This is a drawing depicting abstract figures and forms. The drawing features faint pencil sketches showing various figures in dynamic poses suggesting movement and emotion. One figure is in a dramatic arch at the top, while a group of figures is framed by an arched structure below. In the foreground, a reclining figure appears to observe or react to the central group. The scene feels ethereal and dreamlike, capturing a narrative and symbolic moment.
