Christ as Man of Sorrows at the Foot of the Cross

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a tired man slumped against a tree trunk. He’s wearing a crown of thorns and holding a small cup and a nail. His head is bowed, and his body looks heavy with exhaustion. The ground around him is rough, with scattered rocks and a faint cross lying nearby. The artist used sharp lines to show every muscle and fold of cloth, making the scene feel real. The dark shadows and light contrasts draw your eye to his face and hands.
