Judas Returns the Thirty Pieces of Silver

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing with two panels. The left panel shows two figures in robes having a discussion in front of a building. The right panel shows a man holding a bag walking away from a hanging figure near a tree. The drawing is detailed with line work, resembling early German Renaissance art like Albrecht Dürer. The composition tells a story set in a historical context with intricate environmental and architectural elements. Below the panels, there is text in a Gothic font providing narrative context.
