This woodcut, created by Hans Schäufelein between 1511 and 1512, depicts a scene from the "Life of Christ" cycle, known as "The Lamentation". The image shows Jesus, stripped of his garments, lying on the ground, with his mother Mary holding him while others mourn around him. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the woodcut creates a sense of depth and texture. This piece is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
