The Savior and the Virgin

About this work

This black-and-white print shows two figures sitting side by side under a tree. The person on the left has a long beard, a crown of thorns, and rough hands resting on their knees. The person on the right wears a hooded cloak and holds a small object in their hands. The background has a distant scene with a hill, crosses, and a few tiny figures, giving a sense of a quiet, rural landscape. The lines are sharp and detailed, typical of an etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Frisius made prints like this.
