The Crucifixion (Right Panel)

John Baptist Jackson, after Jacopo Tintoretto

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of knights and soldiers in a forest. Figures are depicted on horseback or standing, with interactions within the group. The attire and armor suggest a historical or mythological narrative. Horses are present, with some rearing back or being guided. Dense foliage from trees serves as a backdrop. Some distant figures seem to be observing or engaged in an activity. Shading and line work create a monochromatic texture that enhances form and movement in the scene.
