The Betrayal of Christ

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a gathering of individuals in a wooded area. The style is reminiscent of woodcut prints. The figures are shown in animated poses, with some holding torches and others with swords or spears. Each character is depicted with rich detail, from their facial expressions down to their textured hair and clothing. The scene captures a variety of actions, with individuals gesturing, leaning, or standing among trees and foliage.
