Seated Ruler Turns Toward Man in Crown of Thorns

A seated man in a short-sleeved tunic and draped robe turns to look at a tall bearded figure standing beside him, with one hand held open in front of him. The standing figure has long wavy hair, a crown of thorns, and a cloak over his shoulders, and he holds a long thin rod against his body while gazing upward. A shirtless boy in shorts kneels at the lower left and lifts a wide shallow bowl toward the seated man. The seat sits on a stone block with a small column, and stone steps run across the bottom. In the lower right corner, a small crowd of faces looks on, and a crenellated wall and clouds fill the background. This page suits Good Friday lessons. Try soft skin tones and earthy browns for the robes, then talk about how the drawing shows the different people in the scene. Thick outlines make it easy for younger kids to color.
