The Disrobing of Christ

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a biblical scene. A central figure, Christ, stands on a platform; he is naked and has a crown of thorns on his head. Two men on either side reach up to remove his loincloth. A group of men surrounds him, some holding sticks. In the background, mountains and a cloudy sky are visible. A man kneels on the ground in the lower center. To the right, two men in 18th-century clothing look on. The paper has a border and is stained with darker sepia tones.
