Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts a crucifixion scene with multiple figures against a blue sky. In the center, a figure is affixed to a tall wooden cross, their pale body draped with a white loincloth, head tilted to their right. Above their head, a white plaque bears the black letters "INRI". To the central figure's left, a man with a beard and a red tunic is tied to a cross, his body contorted, looking upwards. Below this cross, a bearded man in a green tunic stands, holding a small stringed instrument. Next to him, a woman in a black habit and white wimple stands with her head bowed and hands clasped. In front of her, a man kneels, facing right, dressed in a dark robe with red and brown trim, his hands clasped together over a small white box on the ground, which holds rosary beads. To the central figure's right, another bearded man in a white loincloth is tied to a cross, hanging upside down. Below this cross, a man in a long red robe stands, looking up at the central figure with clasped hands. Next to him, a woman in a black habit and white wimple kneels, facing left, her hands clasped over a small white box on the ground, which holds an open book and rosary beads. Further to the right, a woman in an elaborate gold and red patterned dress stands, holding a small cross in her right hand. The background features a deep blue sky with lighter blue and white cloud-like forms around the crosses. The ground below is dark green and brown, with some small plants visible.
