The Fall and Redemption of Man: Christ Crowned with Thorns

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene with four men. Three men are wearing hats with feather or plume and are dressed in puffy short sleeved shirts and knee length pants. Two men on either side of a sitting man are holding a long stick or pole with both hands and pressing it on the sitting man's head. The sitting man has long hair and a beard and is wearing a long shirt or robe. His head is tilted back and to the left. In the background, there are trees, a column, and an archway with ornate carvings. The archway appears to have a balcony or ledge on the right side. The drawing is bordered by a thick line. The image appears to show Christ being crowned with thorns.
