Christ before the High Council

Wilhelm Morgner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays interconnected black lines and shapes forming a central circular pattern, with vertical extensions creating an impression of multiple humanoid figures. The composition suggests a gathering of figures in motion or engaged in a communal activity, maintaining a sense of abstraction through simplified outlines and a lack of detailed features.
