Christ before Pilate

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of armored figures and a robed man standing under an arched passageway. The scene depicts several armored figures with helmets and spears surrounding a man in a robe, who gestures towards them. The architecture includes a rounded archway and a Corinthian column on the right. Intricate details are visible in the armor, fabrics, and facial expressions. The use of lines and shading indicates skilled use of engraving techniques.
