About this work

This looks like a faded drawing on dark paper. On the left side, a figure is nailed to a cross, arms spread wide. To the right, a rider on horseback holds a long spear, pointing downward. The background is packed with tiny, blurred shapes—maybe people or animals—all in muted browns and golds. The cross figure’s face is simple, almost like a sketch. The rider’s horse looks stiff, with sharp angles. The whole piece feels worn, like it’s been handled a lot. This style reminds me of old religious drawings. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
