The Small Passion: Lamentation

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Small Passion: Lamentation by Albrecht Dürer. Black and white engraving of a scene with multiple figures. A central figure lies on the ground, semi-nude with long wavy hair, positioned on their back with one leg bent and the other extended. Several figures surround the central figure, some wearing head coverings and robes. The figure on the left kneels with their head bowed. A tree and foliage are visible in the background. Objects on the ground include a basket and a container. The figures' facial expressions convey emotion, with some raising their hands. The scene appears to take place outdoors.
