Christ Carrying the Cross

Altdorfer, Albrecht

This is a drawing of a group of figures in an architectural setting. The drawing depicts multiple figures in an intricate scene. The setting is indoors or within a walled enclosure, with walls and an architectural structure at the top of the image. The figures are dressed in historical clothing, including robes and hats, and are engaged in an exchange or discussion. The use of lines and shading provides texture and depth to the illustration, typical of the woodcut or engraving style used in historical illustrations.

Ecce Homo

Altdorfer, Albrecht

The image shows two figures in full view. The person on the left is standing upright, holding a child in their arms. The person on the right is bent over slightly, facing the person on the left. Both individuals have halos around their heads. The figure on the left has a covered head, with mature facial features, a beard, and the child they are holding has curly hair. The figure on the right is wearing a hat, and their facial features are less discernible due to the position. The person on the left is draped in robes, and the child is also wrapped in cloth, while the person on the right appears to be wearing a garment with a checkered texture and decorative elements. The object next to the leaning figure resembles a crib or type of container with a radiating design above it. The background consists of a simple lined texture, implying an interior setting with no distinct features beyond the figures.
