The Man of Sorrows Mocked by a Soldier

Albrecht Dürer, waarschijnlijk 1511

The image shows two men in an intricate scene. The man on the right is seated with his hands bound, appearing submissive. He has a pronounced face with a beard and mustache, and hair styled with a crown of thorns. The seated man is muscular and partially covered with a draped cloth. The man on the left is kneeling, holding a stick in his raised right hand and gesturing with his left hand. He has curly hair and a beard. He is dressed in a tunic and a sleeveless outer garment with folds and a textured pattern. Textual elements are present above and below the scene. The background is clear with cloud-like formations suggesting a celestial setting.
