Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment

Christoph Murer

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a forest scene where a person is lying on the ground near a tree and another individual is approaching them. A horse is tethered to a tree in the background, and there are other figures present. The drawing features detailed cross-hatching and strong contrast, creating a sense of depth. The trees are tall and dense, contributing to a gloomy atmosphere, enhanced by a monochrome, textured style reminiscent of early woodcuts or etchings.
