Christ Crucified between the Two Thieves: an Oval Plate

An etching in an oval format shows three crucified figures on tall crosses, the central one raised above a crowd of mourners, soldiers and onlookers. Dense hatching and dark shadows define the figures, while light radiates behind the central cross against a cloudy sky.
