Elijah Fed by a Raven, Providence of God Etching

A small etching shows a bearded man in a loose robe seated on a rocky bank beside a stream, a large raven perched above him with food in its beak. Dense trees frame the scene, and a deer stands in the distant right. The inscription PROVIDENTIA DEI sits above the plate.
