The Trinity

Master of the Berlin Passion

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene that includes a divine figure with a crown and a flowing robe interacting with a smaller human figure. The human figure appears to be suffering and has wounds on the body. To the left is a globe with a cross, and to the right is a wooden post wrapped with rope. Above the figures is an illuminated bird with outstretched wings. The background features a simple wall and floor created with lines. The drawing uses lines and shading to create depth and expressions, similar to religious illustrations in medieval print works.
