Christ Crowned with Thorns

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of people in a scene. A central figure sits on a platform. The figure wears a long robe and a crown of thorns on their head. Their feet are bare. Their right hand grasps a reed. Their left hand is open and gestures outward. The figure is surrounded by seven other men. All are dressed in 15th-century European-style clothing. Some wear armor. Some wear turbans. All have beards except one. Their facial expressions are varied. The central figure and two men on the right hold spears. A man on the left holds a shield. A man in the upper right holds a sword. The man on the left is crouched on one knee. The scene is under an archway. The image is a detailed engraving. The image contains the letters "M" and "MS".
