ETCHINGS

BY

JOHN LIVENS.

THE This scene is the inside of a cavern. Our Saviour stands a little on the right, with his hands clasped before him; his head leans back, and his eyes are shut. He appears to be addressing his omnipotent father in earnest prayer. Below him is the tomb uncovered, with the hands of Lazarus seen stretched out, above the side of it. Most part of the back-ground consists of a glory. On the left, a Morisco woman holds the linen cloth which had covered Lazarus; behind her is a sister of his, with three men. A little below our Saviour's feet is written J. Livens fecit. Franc. Vander Wyngaerde ex. Cat. p. 316, 14-12.
