Wenceslaus Hollar's etching, *Jesus again before Caiaphas* (1644-1652), depicts a scene from the Bible. The etching shows Jesus being questioned by Caiaphas, the high priest, while false witnesses are present. This work is a fine example of Hollar's meticulous and detailed style, which he employed to depict both religious and secular subjects. The scene is set in an interior space, with the figures arranged in a dynamic composition that draws the viewer's eye to the central confrontation between Jesus and Caiaphas. The etching's intricate details, such as the architectural elements of the room and the expressions of the figures, contribute to its powerful depiction of this crucial moment in the Passion of Christ.
