EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching from the 17th century, titled "The Washing of Hands". Wenceslaus Hollar and an unknown artist skillfully portray a profound moment in history. The scene depicts Pontius Pilate washing his hands as he condemns Jesus Christ to death. With meticulous detail, the artists capture the tense atmosphere of the court case.
