Le Christ cloué sur la croix

Albrecht Altdorfer, vers 1512

This is a drawing of a group of armored soldiers in a wooded landscape. The scene shows several figures clad in armor, with some holding weapons, set in a natural setting with a large tree dominating the left side of the composition. In the background, there are hills or mountains beneath a cloudy sky. The drawing uses lines and shading to create depth and structure in the figures and landscape. The brown paper adds to the drawing's textured appearance.
