Artist

This is an image of a crucifixion scene. The central figure is on a cross flanked by two others. A crowd with details of helmets and spears is in the background. The drawing uses fine linework and shading in a monochrome palette, capturing the somber atmosphere. There are hints of architectural forms and a soft horizon line, suggesting a distant cityscape.
