Christ Bearing the Cross

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group scene. The composition shows several figures gathered under an arched stone structure with expressions and postures suggesting a moment of confrontation. The central figure is among others who are gesturing towards them, potentially with implements raised. The figures are detailed with intricate shading and lines, typical of woodcut or engraving techniques. The style is similar to Hans Sebald Beham.
