"Doubting Thomas" is a 1514 drawing by the German artist Hans Leu d.Y. The piece depicts the biblical story of doubting Thomas, who demands to see Jesus' wounds in order to believe his resurrection. The detailed work highlights the emotional tension between the figures, with Thomas kneeling in disbelief while Jesus stands with his wounds exposed. This drawing is a prime example of the Renaissance's emphasis on realism and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow. The work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
