This drawing shows Christ and a woman who cheated on her husband. The woman wears a fancy dress and looks down. The drawing is based on a painting from around 1520, and that's interesting because it shows how artists copied and inspired each other. The drawing is simple, but it tells a story. It's similar to work by artists who focused on details and textures, like the technique of cross-hatching.
