Pieta

Hendrick Goltzius

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a woman and a naked man. The woman wears a head covering, robe, and cape. She sits on a rock and holds the man. A portion of her body covers the man's lower body. The man lays on his back and looks up to her. The woman and man both have circles of lines around their heads. Lines radiate from the circles in all directions behind them. A crown of thorns lays on the ground to their left. A rocky landscape with sparse vegetation surrounds them. A cross on an incline is visible in the background with people standing next to it. The image has a border.
