"The Angel of God Appears to the Prophet Elijah"

The scene is particularly fascinating: the old prophet seated exhausted, his back leaning against a juniper and his left hand supporting his head, observes a magnificent angel with outstretched wings indicating the way to God. Top left between the juniper branches the Corvo brings a hot cake.

The color scheme of the painting is truly remarkable with the hanging angel beaming with light. In the background a bright landscape with the sunset over Mount Oreb.
