Crucified Man

Melchior Lorck

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a muscular man with curly hair and a cloth wrapped around his waist. He is standing on top of another man who is lying on the ground. The standing man has one leg bent at the knee and the other extended behind him, with his foot resting on the stomach of the man on the ground. His arms are raised, with one hand near his face and the other pointing upward. The man on the ground is lying on his back with one leg bent at the knee and the other extended. He appears to be wearing a hat. There are some grasses in the bottom right corner. In the top left corner, there is a signature that includes the letters "M" and "F" with the number "1550".
