Apophthegmatum ex optimis utriusque linguae scriptoribus libri IIX

At the end of this Erasmus text of proverbs, a Crucifixion scene was sketched out in red pencil. Upside down relative to the text, a priest looks towards three crosses in the distance. The priest figure may represent St. John the Evangelist, or another priest with whom the artist was familiar.  Another scene of a city faces the Crucifixion scene, recalling Christ travelling to Jerusalem prior to his death. Interestingly, the focus of the drawing is not Jesus. His outline can be seen in the background, still on the cross.
