The Deposition (recto)

Christian Wink

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Deposition (recto) by Christian Wink: a sketch of a biblical scene, primarily in shades of brown on a beige background, depicting multiple figures, some with halos, gathered around a central figure being lowered from a cross; onlookers display various expressions and body positions; a woman to the right in a long dress and a man to the left with his back turned are prominent; hatching and cross-hatching techniques create depth and shading; the scene conveys intense emotion and movement.
