Detailed Description
A triptych painting features three panels with arched gold frames, set against a dark background. The central panel shows a figure on a wooden cross, wearing a white loincloth, with a plaque above its head inscribed "INRI". Below the cross, a skull and bones rest on the ground. To the left of the cross, a woman in a blue robe with a white veil bows her head, her hands clasped. To the right, a man in a red and blue robe looks up at the figure on the cross, while another man in a dark robe kneels at the base of the cross. A woman in a flowing red-orange robe stands to the far right, gesturing with her hands. The background of the central panel is a vast landscape with rolling green hills, distant buildings, and rocky outcrops under a blue sky. The left panel depicts two standing figures. A man with a beard, wearing a red cloak, holds a white lamb. Next to him, a woman in a green and gold patterned dress holds a staff topped with a cross. A large wooden wheel lies on the ground in front of them. The background is a green, hilly landscape with trees and a blue sky. The right panel shows two standing figures. The figure on the left wears a light grey robe and holds a golden chalice containing a small white figure. The figure on the right wears a dark brown robe and holds a golden paten. This panel also features a green, hilly landscape with distant mountains under a blue sky.
