Black and white painting of a male figure on a cross, flanked by two haloed figures
Detailed Description
A black and white, vertically oriented painting depicts three figures, one on a cross. In the center, a male figure with a beard and long hair is affixed to a dark, simple cross. He wears a light loincloth, and his head is tilted to his right. A halo of light lines surrounds his head. His body shows defined musculature and appears emaciated. To the left of the cross, a female figure stands, draped in dark, heavy robes that cover her head and body. Her hands are clasped at her waist, and her head is bowed, looking downwards. A halo of light lines encircles her head. To the right of the cross, another female figure stands, dressed in lighter, flowing robes. Her left hand is raised with an open palm, while her right hand holds a small, dark object near her chest. Her head is slightly tilted, and she looks towards the central figure. A halo of light lines also surrounds her head. The background is a light, textured surface. A decorative border of dark, wavy lines frames the entire composition.
