Das Maß der Seitenwunde und des Leibes Christi

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, um 1484/1492

The print shows the face, hands, and feet of a man positioned around a large red oval. The man's face shows pale skin, long brown hair, and a brown beard, with a green crown on his head. His face is positioned on the outline of a small cloth or curtain. To the left and right are his hands, each showing a small red dot in the center. His feet at the bottom of the print also have red dots. In the center, between his head and feet, is a large red oval with pointed ends at the top and bottom. Inside the oval is a red heart and a golden cross. A white scroll below the heart has "INRI" written across it, and the cross and the letters "SMATSMARSLVCSIOHA" inscribed vertically on it. On either side of the oval shape are two large scrolls with more text on them. The background of the print is off white paper, which has some torn edges and dark spots of discoloration, especially in the bottom right corner.
