Le Christ dépouillé de ses vêtements (Christ Stripped of His Clothes)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of several figures. The central figure appears to be collapsed or burdened, surrounded by other engaging figures. On the left, a kneeling figure seems to be in a posture of offering. The background shows other figures observing the scene. The drawing uses dynamic lines, shadow, and hatching for intensity.
