About this work

This painting depicts a figure in a white robe with a hood, their hands clasped together in front of them. The figure's face is tilted slightly downward, and their eyes are cast downward as well. A halo of golden rays surrounds their head. The figure's hands are bound by a rope, and their chest is bare, revealing wounds. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the figure's white robe. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the figure. Look up chiaroscuro.
