Dead Christ with Angels

A seated, semi-nude male figure with a bearded face and head bowed rests against darkness, supported by two winged angels behind him, one at left and one at right. Dense hatching and aquatint tones in brown-black ink on a copperplate give the scene a dramatic, softly modeled atmosphere.

Español: Cristo muerto con ángeles, grabado en plancha de cobre de Édouard Manet

Una figura masculina semidesnuda, sentada y con la cabeza inclinada, descansa sobre un fondo oscuro y es sostenida por dos ángeles alados, uno a la izquierda y otro a la derecha. El rayado denso y los tonos de aguatinta en tinta marrón oscura crean una atmósfera dramática y suavemente modelada.
