Christ Dying on the Cross

after Sébastien Le Clerc I

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. The image depicts two figures on crosses surrounded by a gathering of people. Some figures are reaching up or pointing, while others appear to be kneeling or sitting with expressions of mourning or distress. The background features a landscape with hills and cloudy skies, rendered in a style that emphasizes line work and shading.
