Offered here is a powerful 19th-century biblical engraving by Gustave Doré, depicting Christ Carrying the Cross—one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged scenes from the Passion narrative.
This original antique print was produced in the late 1800s and features exceptionally fine detail, with deep contrast and strong line work characteristic of Doré’s finest engravings. The engraving is credited in the plate to Pannemaker-Doms, one of the premier engraving workshops associated with Doré’s published works.
The composition captures the physical burden and emotional weight of the moment, with surrounding figures adding intensity and movement—making this a striking display piece, especially appropriate for Easter or religious collections.
