This 19th century etching by A. Robyn depicts the crucifixion of Christ with the title "Zo moest op Golgotha de vorst des levens sterven / Om 't eeuwig leven voor de zynen te verwerven." The image focuses on the central figure of Christ on the cross, surrounded by figures of mourners, all rendered in a detailed, almost photographic style. The accompanying text highlights the religious symbolism of the scene and emphasizes the sacrifice of Christ for the salvation of mankind, providing a powerful and moving image of faith. The artwork's rich detail and expressive figures exemplify the techniques of the etching process and the cultural significance of religious imagery in the 19th century.
