Legs of Crucified Christ, after "Crucifixion" by Andrea Mantegna; verso: Horse from the Parthenon Frieze
1834 - 1917
Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas
French
There are faint very faint studies on the recto: a cloaked figure to the left of Christ's legs, and the outline of the legs and spear of a soldier below the Cross. The verso includes a faint image of a horse's head just above the Degas stamp.
