Description
Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet appears in this engraving after Albrecht Dürer from the Little Passion. Christ kneels before a seated disciple and washes his foot in a shallow basin. Other followers crowd around the action, their gestures expressing attention and surprise. A hanging light and the chamber’s strong architectural frame give the scene a recognizable household setting, while the central act reverses the expected relationship between master and followers.
The image translates Dürer’s narrative design into the finely worked lines of engraving. The lowered figure of Christ makes humility visible as a practical act of service. Closely spaced marks distinguish fabric, bodies and the surrounding setting, keeping the story vivid at a small scale. This later interpretation preserves the direct emotional appeal of the composition while remaining a work after Dürer.
