This image is an intricately detailed monochrome etching, portraying a figure's back and shoulder area adorned with intense cross-hatching. The composition highlights the artist’s skill in contouring the human form, creating depth and texture. A crown of thorns rests above, suggesting a narrative possibly connected to the suffering of Christ before his crucifixion.
