This engraving by Cornelis Galle I, dated 1635, depicts Christ carrying the cross, accompanied by three other figures. The scene is dramatic, with Christ depicted as a powerful figure, but also with a sense of suffering. The engraving is likely part of a series of prints illustrating the Stations of the Cross, a devotional practice popular in the 17th century. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of the work are characteristic of Galle's style and highlight his mastery of the engraving technique.
