Christ crucified between the two thieves: an oval plate after 1641

This etching, created after 1641 by an unknown artist, depicts the crucifixion of Christ between two thieves, a significant scene from the Passion of Christ. The oval composition emphasizes the central figures, while the surrounding crowd of onlookers adds a sense of drama and solemnity. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of the enduring importance of this biblical narrative in art history.
