A Martyr (Un martyre)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures wrapped in a large cloak or drapery. One figure's head and shoulders are visible, while the other's face is shown. The first figure's head is partially covered by the drapery. The second figure appears to be resting against the first. The background features tall, slender tree trunks without leaves, suggesting a barren landscape. The artwork includes etched lines that add texture and depth to the scene.
