Detailed Description
The artwork depicts a scene within a vertical, arched frame, rendered in monochrome tones. At the center, a nude male figure with a loincloth is affixed to a cross, arms outstretched, and head tilted to the left. Above the figure's head on the cross, a rectangular plaque bears the inscription "I.N.R.I." The top of the panel features an ornate, triangular arch with decorative elements. Below the cross, a figure kneels, embracing the base of the cross, with their head bowed. To the left of the cross, a standing figure in dark, flowing robes stands with their head bowed, facing inward. To the right of the cross, another standing figure, also in flowing robes, looks upward towards the figure on the cross, holding a small object in their hands. All four figures have circular halos around their heads. The background is a plain, textured surface, showing signs of age.
