Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts people with light skin tones on a platform. Christ stands centrally with bound hands, wearing a crown of thorns and gazing upward. To our right, Pilate sits under a fringed canopy, gesturing. Soldiers and men in elaborate robes surround them. Below, a dense throng fills the foreground. Fine cross-hatching creates heavy shadows, and text appears along the bottom edge.
