Christ before Caiaphas, and Peter Denying Christ

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a biblical scene. The image is divided into two panels. In the left panel, a figure is standing before a seated ruler with two guards behind him. In the right panel, three figures are shown pointing towards an elaborately decorated facade with the date 1548 inscribed on it. A rooster sits on a shelf above. Near them, a solitary figure is seated with his hand to his face. Text beneath the drawing mentions a denial before the crowing of the rooster.
