The Body of Christ Supported by Angels

Hendrick Goltzius, after Bartholomaeus Spranger

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a central figure in a seated position on the edge of a flat surface. The person is half-nude, with a cloth draped over the lower part of their body. The figure's head is tilted downward, eyes closed. They have sharp facial features, long wavy hair, and are supported by an angel. The angel has long hair and wings. Two cherubs are present, one holding the man's hand and the other holding a container. In the background, there is a rocky landscape with a faint outline of a distant city, and three more figures walking. The scene is detailed with fine lines and shading.
