Christ on the Cross

Französische Grafik 1285–1700, kb. 1490

This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. The drawing depicts a central figure on a cross, surrounded by two other figures. One figure is draped in a long blue robe with a halo, while the other is in white with a red interior and halo, standing with hands in a gesture of reverence. At the base of the cross, there are elements like a skull and bones, along with sparse foliage. The style suggests a print or woodcut with minimal color highlights, primarily blue and red.
