Christ and the Adulteress 

"Christ and the Adulteress" is a powerful black and white print by American artist Carl Pickhardt, a master of the etching and engraving techniques. This poignant scene depicts a moment of profound religious significance, where Christ, shown with a beard and long hair, stands before the woman condemned to be stoned, extending a hand towards her. The composition is striking, with the figures positioned in a way that emphasizes the contrast between Christ’s compassion and the harsh judgment of the onlookers. Pickhardt's work is characterized by its expressive lines and the use of light and shadow, highlighting the emotions and moral dilemmas of the biblical narrative.
