Mocking of Christ 

This pen drawing, *Mocking of Christ*, depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ, a popular subject in religious art. Created by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, the artwork shows Jesus kneeling with his hands clasped in prayer, while a group of figures surrounding him mock him. The artist uses a loose and expressive line to capture the figures’ gestures and the atmosphere of tension and cruelty. This drawing, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, provides an insight into Rembrandt's dynamic sketching process.
