This engraving is one of a series of 37 woodcuts known as "The Little Passion", depicting the Passion of Christ. Created between 1485 and 1699, it showcases Albrecht Durer’s mastery of detail and realism, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance. The series was a popular form of devotional art, offering viewers a visual narrative of Christ's suffering and sacrifice. The composition is typical of Durer's work, with detailed figures set against a simplified background. The scene in this print, the "Washing of Feet", highlights Durer's ability to capture emotion in a graphic, evocative way.
