Ecce Homo is a 1480 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene with multiple figures. In the center, a man stands with his head bowed and his hands bound, while another figure holds his arm. To the right, a group of people are gathered, some of whom appear to be soldiers or guards. The background features a building with an arched doorway. One interesting detail is the use of cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the image. The artist's technique adds a sense of realism to the scene.
