Christ on the Cross

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, 1480/1490

On the left, a figure with a halo and flowing robe. On the right, another figure with a halo, holding what looks like a book, dressed in a cloak. Below the cross, there is a skull and a bone on the ground. The background has a blue sky, green foreground, and a red and orange frame.
