288 PETER PAUL RUBENS.
163. Christ raising Lazarus. This admirable picture is
composed of six figures, and represents the Saviour, clothed
in a white vesture and a scarlet mantle, standing in a profile
view on the left, with his arms extended and his attention
stedfastly directed to Lazarus, who has quitted the tomb and
is bending in grateful adoration to his deliverer; his two
sisters are on their keees, one of whom is removing his grave-
clothes, and the other is looking with an expression of
affection at the Saviour. The two remaining persons appear
to be disciples; one of them is assisting Martha, and the
other is bending forward to convince herself of the reality of
the miracle. This is a well-studied work of the master.—
