About this work

You see a man standing, wearing a crown of thorns. He's surrounded by people, some of whom are looking at him with sadness. This etching is interesting because it shows a quiet moment in a big story, with simple lines and shading. The artist used simple lines to convey emotion. The scene is somber, with the man's expression a key part of the mood. Check out the work of artist: Callot, Jacques.
