A crucified figure on a cross, surrounded by multiple people and a man on a rearing horse
Detailed Description
A monochromatic image depicts a scene with multiple figures surrounding a central crucifixion. At the top and center, a nude male figure is nailed to a dark wooden cross, wearing only a loincloth. His head is tilted downwards and to the right, adorned with a crown of thorns, and a subtle glow emanates from behind his head. A small plaque at the top of the cross bears the letters "INRI". The sky behind the figure is dark and heavily clouded, with lighter tones directly around the cross. To the right of the cross, a man in a plumed helmet and armor sits on a rearing white horse, looking upwards at the crucified figure with his right arm extended. Below the cross on the left, a man in a dark tunic stands, also looking up at the crucified figure with his left arm raised. Further down on the left, a group of three figures is depicted. One figure, appearing to be a woman, is slumped over, supported by another figure who cradles her head. A third figure kneels beside them, extending a hand towards the slumped individual. On the lower right, a partially nude man is on the ground, facing away from the cross with his hands near his head. Another figure kneels nearby, looking towards the center of the composition. The ground beneath the figures is dark and uneven.
