Christ Appearing to the Apostles

Frühe Holzschnitte, circa 1460/1470

The image shows four people in a stylized, illustrated form. Three figures on the right side face left, with their bodies turned towards the central figure on the left. The central figure on the left sits atop a cloud, holding a crucifer with their right hand raised. All figures have halos, defined features, and wear flowing robes in shades of earth tones. Linear patterns denote hair and beards. The background is minimally detailed with solid colors like green for the ground and beige for the sky or back wall. The scene is on textured paper with a simple illustrative style.
