Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a biblical scene. Jesus Christ is kneeling on the left, with his hands clasped in prayer and his head tilted upwards. He wears a long robe. Three men sit on the ground to the right, two with their heads in their hands. The man on the left has a book. The man on the right holds a sword. A figure stands behind a tree to the right, holding a staff. The background features a tree with bare branches on the left and an opening behind it. The artist's initials "M+S" are at the bottom. The scene is set outdoors with rocky terrain. The drawing has a detailed and intricate style.
