Christ Carrying the Cross

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of Christ carrying a large wooden cross. Christ wears a crown of thorns, a long robe with a cloth draped over his shoulder. He looks ahead with an expression of suffering, and his head is tilted slightly to the right. He walks forward with his hands on the cross for support. There are several men around him, some on horseback. Some men are dressed in armor and hold spears. The man on the right side of Christ holds the cross. The man to Christ's left seems to be falling to the ground. There are trees and a wall in the background. The image has a detailed and textured appearance. The image is framed by a white border. The drawing appears to be quite old. The top right of the image contains a monogram and date.
