Le Christ portant sa croix (5e planche) (Christ Carrying the Cross) (fifth plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a person carrying a large wooden cross through a crowd. The print is composed of thin lines and scribbles. The central person is depicted bending forward under the weight of the large, T-shaped cross. They have long, dark hair covering their face, and wear a draped garment. The background features a crowd of numerous onlookers, depicted with thin, crossing lines and few details. We can only see features of a few of them. The background is made of thin vertical and horizontal lines.
