Christ as the Man of Sorrows

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, 1480/1500

The image shows a person standing in a slightly hunched position. The individual has long, dark hair and is wearing a crown of leaves on their head. Their facial expression is downcast, with closed eyes and a solemn demeanor. The person is minimally clothed, wearing only a simple waistcloth. They are holding a bundle of green branches against their chest and are surrounded by various objects, including spears, sticks, and a rooster. The background features an intricately detailed border with floral and vine motifs in green and red.
