Christ's Entry into Jerusalem

Francesco Denanto

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing depicting a man riding a donkey amidst a group of people. The people are laying down garments and holding palm branches. The scene is framed by an arched entrance or gateway. In the background, a detailed landscape with a castle or fortified structure atop a hill is visible. The figures are intricately detailed, with attention to facial expressions and clothing. The artist uses fine lines and shading to create texture and depth.
