The painting depicts a man tied to a wooden cross, with his arms outstretched and his legs bound. He is dressed in a white cloth wrapped around his waist. Two men are shown in the foreground, one kneeling and the other standing, both appearing to be in the process of constructing the cross. The background features a landscape with trees, hills, and buildings. In the distance, a group of people can be seen gathered near a stone structure. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of solemnity and reverence. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who have explored the theme of martyrdom, such as the depiction of Andrew the Apostle.
