The Round Passion: Christ Presented to the People

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white engraving depicting a scene from The Round Passion. Christ, shirtless and wearing a cloth around his waist, stands on steps with hands bound in front of him. He is presented to a crowd by a man standing on the steps beside him. The man wears a robe and a hat, and holds a cloth. The crowd below, on the left, includes several men gesturing towards Christ. The scene is framed by a decorative border featuring cherubs, foliage, and scrollwork. The border is circular, and the image within is set against an architectural background with buildings and a distant mountain range. The date '1509' appears on a banner within the border at the top.
