Christus von vier Engeln bedient 

Charles Le Brun created "Christus von vier Engeln bedient" using pen and brush in gray and brown on paper. The composition is structured around the figure of Christ, reclining under a tree, attended to by angels. Le Brun employs a limited palette, focusing on tonal variations of gray and brown to create depth and volume. The linear quality of the pen work defines forms, while the brush adds soft shading, heightening the emotional tone of reverence. The arrangement of figures in a semi-circle directs our attention to Christ, who is rendered with a gentle expression. The angels, each in a posture of service, further emphasize Christ's central role. Note the angel at Christ's feet whose wings create a visual barrier between the earthly and the divine. Ultimately, the effectiveness of Le Brun's drawing lies in its formal harmony, and the subtle emotional depth achieved with modest means. The sketch suggests both a narrative moment and a timeless expression of devotion.
