Joseph Smith Rebuking the Guards in the Richmond Jail- Danquart Anthon Weggeland

This painting has many elements however many of them draw to each other. The top line of the light beam hits the womans hairline which ribbons right down to the baby's head. The lines on the door flow into the line of Joseph's arm.The chain coming from his wrist hangs and flows into the bend of his arm and up the cape, across his neck and down the cape to the floor where the mans hat is. The two lines of the wall in the background point down directly to two men's faces which are in distress..
