Ecce homo 1819 - 1845

"Ecce homo" (Behold the man) is a pencil drawing by Elisabeth Alida Haanen, a Dutch artist known for her portraits and religious themes. Created between 1819 and 1845, the drawing depicts Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, a poignant image from the Passion of Christ narrative. The intricate detail of the crown, the subtle expression on Jesus's face, and the delicate shading of the drawing create a sense of quiet contemplation and sorrow, characteristic of Haanen's work. The drawing is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
