The Passion: Christ before Caiaphas is a 1462 by Master of the Banderoles, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows five men in a room with a bed in the background. One man, wearing a halo, stands out with long hair and a serious face. The others look tense, with one man in fancy clothes holding a stick and another pointing at the haloed figure. The edges of the paper have writing in an old script. The haloed man is likely Jesus, based on the title. The artist focused on faces and clothing details, like the red marks on the fancy man’s collar. If you like this style, look up Renaissance next.
The Master of the Banderoles was an anonymous engraver who is thought to have worked in the northern Netherlands, perhaps in Geldern or Overijssel.
