Christ Crucfied Between Two Thieves: An Oval Plate

Rembrandt van Rijn

Cleveland Museum of Art

Oval-shaped print depicting a scene of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is on the cross in the center, wearing a loincloth, with his arms outstretched and nailed to the cross. Two thieves are crucified on either side of him on their own crosses. A crowd of people surrounds the crosses below; some are on their knees, some are looking on. A man on the left wears a large hat and a long cloak. The background has lines radiating from behind Christ's head, suggesting light. The print is in shades of black and gray on a beige background. The artist's signature is not visible. The overall composition is within an oval frame.
