The artist's skilled use of pen and brown ink on white paper brings to life the profound moment of Jesus Christ bearing his cross. The composition depicts a soldier leading Christ forward, while others surround him with cruel intent. The weight of the cross is palpable as it rests upon Christ's shoulders, emphasizing his sacrifice and unwavering determination. His face reveals both physical pain and spiritual strength amidst the torment he endures. Guercino's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this baroque drawing.
