Description
The doctors insisted Metropolitan Philaret to influence Gogol, to strengthen his confidence in the doctors. But nothing influenced on him, to all the persuasions he replied quietly: "Leave me alone; I feel good." He stopped taking care of himself, did not wash, did not brush his hair, did not dress. On Monday, February 17, he went to bed in a bathrobe and boots and did not get up anymore. In bed, he started the sacraments of repentance, communion and anointing, listened to all the gospels in full consciousness, holding a candle and crying. "If the God wants me to stay alive, I will be alive," he told friends, who urged him to be treated.

This is an episode from Nikolai Gogol's biography that I didn't know and which inspired this complicated drawing. I haven't been drawing for a long time because I'm having problems with motivation. Gogol has become my motivation again.
