Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present two previously unknown drawings by Norwid, inspired by the New Testament, which have recently been added to the register of his artistic legacy. The first of the sketches Chrystus i dzieci w świątyni jerozolimskiej [Christ and Children in the Temple of Jerusalem] (1855, lost) illustrates a quotation from the Gospel of Matthew (Mt 21, 15-17). The second composition Chrystus błogosławiący dzieci [Christ Blessing Children] (1857, National Library) refers to an episode mentioned several times in the Gospels (Mt 19, 13-15; Mk 10, 13-16; Lk 18,15-17).
