Jesus Identifies Himself before the Arrest

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with multiple figures, an archway, and a tree. The central figure gestures with one hand while facing a group of individuals to the right. To the left, a group of armored figures appear to be falling or recoiling. The backdrop features an archway and a simple fence or wall, with a tree nearby. The sky above features swirling clouds. Below the image, there is a block of text in German script. The drawing is executed with precision, emphasizing line work typical of engravings or woodcuts from the Renaissance or Baroque periods.
