The Man of Sorrows and His Mother

Niederländische Grafik 1442–1620, c. 1500

The image shows a medieval woodcut-style rendition of two figures. One figure has long brown hair and a beard, wearing a green crown of leaves and a patterned cloth. The other figure wears a deep blue and golden robe with a hood, with soft facial features and a veil blending into a halo-like shape behind their head. The figures are surrounded by a simple colored arch with text above them reading "Ecce homo." Below the central image is a block of text in a Gothic script. The background is filled with deep blue and framed with a red border with decorative motifs at the top and bottom.
