Kristi begrædelse 1686 - 1738

"Kristi Begrædelse" (Christ's Lamentation) is a red chalk drawing by Hendrik Krock, a Danish artist known for his portraits and religious subjects. Dated between 1686 and 1738, it depicts a scene of mourning with a woman, likely Mary Magdalene, clutching the body of Christ. Krock's use of red chalk adds a sense of drama and pathos to the scene, capturing the emotional intensity of the moment. This drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a powerful example of Krock's skill in conveying religious themes through sensitive draftsmanship.
