The Crucifixion is a 1520 chalk by Netherlandish 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a scene of the Crucifixion. It's drawn with pen and brown ink over black chalk. The details are pretty intricate, with lines and shading that give it depth - this technique is called cross-hatching, which is a way of creating shading by drawing closely spaced lines.
