AF-WG-2560.T.jpg

Monochrome engraving, originally part of a series of landscapes with scenes from the story of Elijah.
Seascape with fishermen cutting open a whale on the beach. Right in the foreground is Elijah who looks up to his servant, standing atop the jagged cliffs of Carmel. The man points to a small rain cloud coming up out of the sea, on the far left of the composition. Below the image is printed a Bible quotation in Latin, and below it are printed the artist attributions.
