Christus und die Ehebrecherin 

"Christus und die Ehebrecherin" is a drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Valerio Castello, active in the mid-17th century. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the biblical story of Jesus' encounter with the woman caught in adultery, as described in the Gospel of John. The scene is set in an open-air space, with a large crowd surrounding Jesus and the woman, who kneels before him. The artist's use of loose, gestural lines creates a sense of movement and drama, highlighting the tension and emotion of the moment. Castello's drawing serves as a powerful testament to the enduring power of this biblical narrative.
