The artist's exploration extends beyond mere aesthetics as he also depicts stigmata wounds and crucifixion marks on Christ's feet and knees. Dürer's profound understanding of human anatomy is evident in his portrayal of Jesus' feet, toes, and knee joints. His skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing its realism.
