DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
Obadiah, steward of King Ahab, and scour the country at the behest of the king, in search of fresh grass to feed livestock, meets Elijah (I Kings, 18, 7). The Prophet ordered him to report to the king that he would present in Jerusalem on the same day. This scene Beccafumi, is characterized by less usual background of black marble, which Cecchini made to think about the work of the pupil Giovanni Battista Sozzini, more likely, however, diversity is considered as an expedient to bring out the figures, given the small size of diamonds.
