The painting, "The Crowning with Thorns," depicts a scene of Jesus Christ being crowned with thorns. He is shown wearing a red robe and has his hands raised above his head, with a crown of thorns on his head. Two men are standing on either side of him, one holding a stick and the other holding a cloth. The background of the painting is a muted gray color. The painting is done in a loose, expressive style, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
