Painting of a winged angel in yellow pointing upward while a bearded old man in brown lies on rocky ground in a dark landscape.

The Prophet Elijah Awakened in the Desert by an Angel

An winged angel in a yellow robe stands at right, pointing toward the sky, while a bearded old man in a brown mantle lies on the ground in the foreground. Dark, moody landscape with trees and a distant hill suggests a wilderness setting in oil painting.

Español: El profeta Elías despertado por un ángel en el desierto

Un ángel alado con túnica amarilla está de pie a la derecha, señalando hacia el cielo, mientras un anciano barbudo con manto marrón yace en el suelo en primer plano. Un paisaje oscuro y sombrío, con árboles y una colina lejana, sugiere un entorno silvestre en pintura al óleo.
