Temptation of Christ after 1650

This anonymous drawing from after 1650 depicts the "Temptation of Christ." The composition focuses on a seated Christ, rendered in a gestural, expressive style. The sketchy lines and use of hatching contribute to a sense of dynamism and immediacy. This drawing demonstrates the artist's skillful use of line and form to create a powerful portrayal of a central Christian story. Despite being a small-scale work, this drawing demonstrates the power of a single figure to convey intense emotions and spiritual themes.
