work is similar to the sketch of "the grave mourning for Vladimirsky Cathedral.
Working With a shrug of "crying" but from Vrubel nothing.
Composition is not typical for Wrubel, closer to the realists 19. like Polenova. Figure no constructive rigidity so characteristic Vrubel. Vrubel even in sketches focus on the plastic shapes and proportions of the eastern face of Christ - expressive eyes or eye sockets, low brow, slender nose. Immediately Christ in plastic, like a log, with the face of Russian Vanya.
Although the sketch is made very talented hand.
