This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. Three crosses are depicted on a hill, with figures around them in various poses. The lines are finely etched to create detailed textures in the figures’ robes and the clouds in the sky. The scene emphasizes the middle cross, with surrounding figures adding depth to the composition. Contrast between light and shadow intensifies the emotional impact of the scene.
