Christus met doornen gekroond c. 1660

"Christus met doornen gekroond" (Christ Crowned with Thorns) is a black and white drawing by Moses ter Borch, a Dutch artist who lived during the 17th century. The drawing depicts the moment when Jesus Christ is crowned with thorns by a Roman soldier, while another soldier stands by, holding a reed. The scene is rendered with remarkable detail and sensitivity, capturing the agony and suffering of Christ. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is a testament to ter Borch's talent as a draftsman.
