About this work

This drawing shows three men lowering Jesus into a rocky tomb. One holds his arm, another his feet. The third leans in close, his face half in shadow. The artist used sharp lines and dots to create light and shadow. This technique is called cross-hatching. It makes the scene feel real and heavy with grief. Compare this to another artist who buried Jesus in woodblock prints. Look up Albrecht Dürer’s *Small Passion*.
