Corcoran Gallery, Washington; canvas, H.
7 ft. 5 in. × 5 ft. 9 in. Scene from Bunyan's
Pilgrim's Progress: "Methought I looked
up and saw one coming with wings towards
me. So he came directly to me and said,
'Mercy, what aileth thee?' Now, when he
had heard me make my complaint, he said,
'Peace be to thee!' He also wiped my
eyes with his handkerchief, and clad me in
silver and gold. He put a chain about my
neck, and ear-rings in my ears, and a beautiful
crown upon my head." Painted in
