The Betrayal of Christ is a 1535 ink by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut scene shows a group of men in the woods, one of whom is on the ground. The figures are dressed in Renaissance-style clothing and helmets, with some holding weapons. The atmosphere appears tense, with the men surrounding the fallen figure. In the background, trees and foliage are visible, adding to the sense of a forest setting. The overall mood of the scene is one of conflict and drama. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Renaissance movement.
Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a German painter and printmaker, mainly known for his very small engravings.
