Jesus with the Pharisees

About this work

This black-and-white scene shows a group of people gathered outside near a river. Some stand close together, while others wave or gesture. In the background, a town with buildings and a church sits on a hill, and trees line the banks. The figures look serious, with one person in robes pointing toward the crowd. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the scene depth. This is an etching, a printmaking method where the design is scratched into metal plates.
