Christus voor Pilatus 1680 - 1731

"Christus voor Pilatus" is a pen and wash drawing by Jan Goeree, a Dutch artist who lived from 1670 to 1731. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus standing before Pontius Pilate. Jesus, surrounded by his followers, stands before the Roman governor, who sits on a throne. This drawing, made between 1680 and 1731, reflects Goeree's skill in depicting historical and religious subjects, creating a detailed and compelling narrative in a small format.
