Pen and watercolor drawing of three nude figures in an ornate leafy frame, with a seated man, a standing woman, and a draped figure at right, before a hazy landscape.

The Archangel Raphael with Adam and Eve (Illustration to Milton's "Paradise Lost")

Three nude figures stand and sit within an ornate, scrolling frame of foliage and Gothic tracery. A man seated at left gestures with his hand, a standing woman with flowing hair faces forward, and a winged-crowned figure in drapery raises her arms at right, before a distant hilly landscape. Pen and ink with watercolor wash.
