The Passion: The Lamentation

Israhel van Meckenem

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a group of people gathered around a body on the ground. The body on the ground is naked from the waist up and has a cloth wrapped around the lower body. The body lies on the ground with one leg straight and the other bent. The head of the body is to the right and tilted down. The people around the body wear robes and head coverings. Some of the people are touching the body. In the background, to the left, there is a scene with three crucifixes and people around them. To the right of the main scene, there are stacked, uneven, rocky formations. A figure sits on a ledge amidst the rocky formations. The drawing is bordered by a thin white frame. The style is detailed and appears to be from the Northern Renaissance period.
