The Man of Sorrows Seated

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-body view of a seated figure. The person is sitting on a stone or a block-like structure, with both legs visible and one hand held up near the chest. The facial features include a long face with a curly beard and hair. The person's head is encircled with a crown of thorns, and straight rays radiate outward. They are wearing a long, loose garment that covers part of their body from the waist down. They hold a bundle of sticks or rods in one hand. The background is a plain surface. The numbers "1515" are present at the bottom of the image.
