Study sheet with Christ as Man of Sorrows and a garment study 1510

This pen and ink drawing by Albrecht Durer, dating to 1510, depicts Christ as the Man of Sorrows, a popular devotional image in the Renaissance. The depiction of Christ's suffering, as seen in the crown of thorns and his contorted pose, evokes a sense of empathy and piety. The study sheet also includes a drapery study, suggesting Durer’s meticulous approach to anatomical accuracy and detail. This drawing, now housed in the British Museum, offers a glimpse into Durer's artistic process and his ability to capture both the physical and emotional aspects of his subjects.
