John Keyse Sherwin's 1778 print, "Christ carrying the cross, at right the two thieves on the road to Calvary, two crosses in the background, after Reni (?)" is a depiction of a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ. This black and white engraving, influenced by Guido Reni's work, highlights Christ's suffering as he carries the cross towards his crucifixion, with the two thieves in the background on their way to the same fate. This dramatic scene is a powerful reminder of the Christian faith and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
