Cartão Detail of Angel, Elijah in the Wilderness

Detail of angel from the Sir Frederic Leighton painting, 'Elijah in the Wilderness', inspired by an episode from the Old Testament described in 1 Kings, chapter 19 verses 4 – 7. Elijah, escaping from Jezebel, who had vowed to kill him, went for a day’s journey into the desert, sat beneath a tree and asked that he might die. However, an angel appeared with bread and water which sustained him on his subsequent journey of forty days. This card is a good choice for many occasions and would make a beautiful sympathy card.
