Christ Taking Leave of His Mother

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a man in a long robe standing facing left, looking up and away from the viewer. He holds a staff in his right hand and a cloth over his left forearm. He stands on the right side. On the left side a woman sits on the ground, on her knees, under an awning. Her head is covered and she looks up at the man, her hands raised near her face. Two women stand behind her. A tree trunk is on the right. A town with a tall castle and a church with a dome is in the background. A hill with mountains is on the right. A railing and beams are overhead on the left.
