Español: Estudio para 'El beso de Judas' de Gustave Doré

Un estudio oscuro, lavado en tonos marrones, grises y blancos, muestra una figura central de túnica pálida con la cabeza marcada por un halo, rodeada de hombres encapuchados: uno levanta una antorcha a la izquierda y otro sujeta a una figura con túnica a la derecha. Los reflejos claros en las túnicas y el suelo rocoso contrastan con rostros en sombra y un fondo de cueva arriba.

Português: Estudo para 'O Beijo de Judas' de Gustave Doré

Um estudo escuro, aguado em tons marrons, cinzas e brancos, mostra uma figura central de manto claro com a cabeça marcada por um halo, cercada por homens encapuzados: um ergue uma tocha à esquerda e outro segura uma figura de manto à direita. Os realces claros nas vestes e no chão rochoso contrastam com rostos em sombra e um fundo de caverna acima.
