Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. The image depicts a central figure on a cross with the inscription "INRI" above, surrounded by figures on either side who are also affixed to crosses. There is a large crowd gathered below, including figures on horseback, carrying banners and spears. Above the crucifixion scene, clouds emanate rays of light.
