Die Gefangennahme Christi

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, um 1470/1480

The image shows six individuals in an animated interaction. Most figures are depicted from the waist up, except two shown from head to toe, and one lying down. The central figure is standing, wearing a robe and a halo, holding a bag. The figures' facial features are stylized with simple, expressive lines. The central figure has long hair, while others have short hair or head coverings. The surrounding figures wear medieval-style clothing in earth tones and blues, some with green accents. The figure on the ground is bald and wearing a garment with a white collar. One individual holds a scroll or baton, while others interact with or gesture towards the central figure. The background has a blue sky and green ground, enclosed by a red border.
