Ecce Homo

About this work

This engraving shows a crowded scene with a mix of people in dramatic poses. On the left, a bearded man with a crown of thorns stands with his hands tied behind his back. Around him, others reach out, some kneeling, while a woman in a long robe points toward him. In the background, a city with towers and a clock tower looms. The artist used fine lines to create deep shadows and textures, like the folds in clothing or the rough wood of a door. The scene feels tense, with every figure focused on the central figure.
