This etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, titled "Putti met passiewerktuigen bij het graf van Christus", depicts cherubs, or putti, around the tomb of Christ. Four cherubs are gathered around the tomb, and three others carry the instruments of the Passion (such as a crown of thorns and nails) in the upper part of the image. The cherubs are holding various items associated with Christ's crucifixion, including a crown of thorns, nails, and a hammer. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with meticulous detail and intricate shading. This artwork, created between 1644 and 1652, is a poignant reminder of the Passion of Christ, and it is a testament to Hollar's skill as a draftsman.
