About this work

This print shows a busy scene of Jesus on the cross with crowds around him. Smaller pictures of people line the edges. The top has fancy letters and symbols. At the bottom, more figures sit under text in a border. The whole thing looks like it was carved into metal. The artist used tiny lines to make shadows and details. Look up engraving to see how this works.
