The Temptation of Christ

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene with two men. The man on the left stands with his right arm bent at the elbow resting on a low wall, and his left hand on his chest; he looks towards the right. He wears a head covering and a long-sleeved robe. The man on the right kneels on the ground with one knee. He wears a robe with a belt and appears to be offering something to the other man. The kneeling man holds a staff or walking stick in one hand. The background shows a rocky landscape with trees, a hill leading to a distant castle or large building. The overall scene appears to be set outdoors. The image is rendered in black and white.
