The Betrayal

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, circa 1470/1480

The image depicts a group of figures, some of whom are shown from the waist up. In the center, a person with long hair and a beard stands, wearing a patterned robe. Another figure with long hair leans in closely, touching cheeks or kissing the central figure, draped in a yellow garment. Other figures surround them, including one with a green headpiece and a child-like figure in a crouched position. To the right, a character in a red robe holds an object resembling a torch, with a halo above their head. More figures in various headgear are visible in the background, holding staffs or spears. The scene is outlined by a yellow and black patterned border, with hints of green and brown textures on the ground.
