Lot description

A dramatic and finely executed 19th-century engraving titled Christian Martyrs, after the renowned French illustrator Gustave Doré. The scene depicts angels descending upon the arena following the persecution of early Christians, a powerful composition rendered with Doré’s signature emotional intensity and atmospheric depth. Printed with rich tonal contrast and housed in its original deep-molded Victorian frame with gilt inner liner, the work retains strong visual presence despite age toning and surface wear. 31 in. H, 40 in. W.
