The Massacre of the Innocents

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, ca. 1470/1480

The image depicts multiple people with medieval or religious themes. One person is seated on a throne wearing a crown and a long robe. Another person is standing holding a spear with a smaller figure on top. A woman is seated on a donkey holding a child, both with halos. Another figure stands next to the woman holding the donkey's reins, and there are additional small figures in the scene. The setting appears to be outdoors with dense foliage, and the border features geometric patterns.
