Pilate Washing His Hands is a 1502 ink by Master S, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a scene where a man, possibly Pilate, is washing his hands in a basin. He is surrounded by a group of people, some of whom are wearing hats and robes. The scene is set in a building with arches and columns, and there is a small cherub figure in the top right corner. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with cross-hatching used to create texture and depth. The figures are arranged in a way that creates a sense of movement and energy.
