Stoning of Jesus

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene in a classical architectural setting. The image depicts figures around a grand architectural structure with large columns and arched openings. The figures are dressed in long robes and appear engaged in an active scene with gestures. One figure is in a central position, emitting an aura. The architecture is detailed with cross-hatching, creating depth and shadow.
