Flagellation of Christ

Gaspare Diziani

Cleveland Museum of Art

A drawing depicts the flagellation of Christ. Christ sits on steps with his back to the viewer, wearing a loincloth. The right knee is bent and the left leg extends down the steps. The torso has thick black marks indicating where he has been beaten. A man on the right bends at the waist and leans on the right step. To Christ's right, another man holds a whip. Five other men surround. The background includes a wall with columns. The drawing is in shades of brown on aged paper.
