Christ led before Pilate

Albrecht Dürer 1471 - 1528

Summary

Christ stands in the centre of the image, looking to the right, in profile and bearded. He is being marched before Pilate by armoured figures. Pilate, wearing a turban and beard, stands on what seems to be the doorstep of a building. A large man with a head scarf is beside him pointing to Christ. Some buildings are visible in the background through an arch in the middle ground. There is a column in the foreground.
