Jesus Confronting His Detractors

Wenceslaus Hollar, after a follower of Hans Holbein the Younger

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a group of robed people in a forested landscape. Four people on the left are standing, while a larger group on the right are sitting and holding tall staffs. On the right side, there is a lit candle on the top of a large staff that appears to be held by one of the seated people. On the left side, one of the people holds a large sword over their shoulder. Another person has their arm outstretched towards the group on the right. The background features a rocky outcrop, clustered trees, and a fence enclosing a small structure or gate. The print is monochromatic, with dark lines on tan paper.
