Original mid-17th century copperplate engraving depicting the Crucifixion and Lamentation of Christ. The composition presents Christ upon the cross with the inscription INRI above, while the Virgin Mary, Saint John, and Mary Magdalene gather in grief below. A skull and bones at the base of the cross symbolize Golgotha and the theme of redemption.
Executed in a powerful Baroque style with dramatic shading and strong chiaroscuro, the engraving reflects the devotional intensity of 17th-century Catholic Europe. Likely issued from a large-format Missal or folio Bible.
Printed on laid paper with a strong, dark impression.
