These are preparatory drawings for Munkacsy's great Christ before Pilate, painted as the first scene of a trilogy of the Passion in 1881. The later works were Christ on Golgotha, 1884, and Ecce Homo, 1895-96. After being separated for many years, all three are now in the Déri Museum in Debrecen, Hungary.
