This color lithograph depicts the infamous moment when Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, washes his hands after condemning Jesus to death. Created by Gebhard Fugel in 1863-1939, this print captures the intense emotions and moral dilemma faced by Pilate as he makes a decision that will forever be etched in history. The image showcases a solemn Pilate standing beside a basin filled with water, symbolizing his attempt to cleanse himself of guilt. His face reflects both resignation and anguish as he contemplates the consequences of his actions. In the background, a diverse crowd watches on with mixed reactions - some showing sympathy for Jesus while others revel in his suffering. The scene is richly detailed, highlighting significant elements such as the crown of thorns adorning Jesus' head and the cross looming ominously nearby.
