Christ on the Cross Between Saint John and Mary

Wenceslaus Hollar after Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. The drawing features a central crucifix, with a figure hanging upon it, flanked by two robed figures on either side. The figure on the cross is depicted with stylized anatomy and a draped cloth around the waist. The left and right figures are adorned with halos and are shown wearing long, flowing garments. Above the scene, there is a small set of initials, possibly the artist's mark. The drawing is rendered with fine, deliberate lines, capturing the solemnity of the scene in a sparse and focused composition.
