Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting depicts multiple figures within a scene that transitions from an outdoor landscape in the upper left to an indoor setting for the central activity. The upper left corner shows a light blue sky above rolling green hills dotted with sparse trees. Below this, the central activity takes place indoors against a light-colored wall, with a dark, heavy curtain hanging on the right side. In the center-left, a figure with a crown of thorns and a dark purple robe stands, looking downwards, with hands appearing bound. A man in a silver helmet, red sleeves, and a white tunic over red pants holds his arm. To the right of the central figure, another man in a red tunic and a red pointed hat appears to be guiding him. Behind these figures, a man in a green hat and dark tunic observes. On the right side of the composition, a bearded man wearing a red and green robe and a red pointed hat sits on a light-colored, stepped stone platform. He extends his hands over a silver basin held by a young man in a yellow tunic and blue tights. Another young man, also in a yellow tunic, pours water from a silver ewer over the seated man's hands. Behind the seated man, a woman in a white head covering and a green dress looks down. The floor is a light, neutral color.
