The Stoning of Saint Stephen

A black-and-white etching shows a crowd of men surrounding a kneeling figure in long robes, one raising a large stone overhead while a helmeted man grips the victim's arm. A man bends at the lower left to gather stones, and a ruined building rises in the hazy background on the right.
