Ecce Homo

Agostino Carracci, after Correggio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man's upper body at the center with long, curly hair, a crown of thorns, neutral expression, a beard, and draped in a cloth. Three other figures surround him, one wearing a detailed helmet with a plume to the left, a bearded man with a turban-like head covering to the right, and another figure gesturing towards the center. In the lower right, a woman is depicted holding a cloth to her face. The scene is set against a simple architectural backdrop with vertical elements like columns or a doorway. The artwork is monochrome with detailed line work and shading.
