About this work

This painting shows a dark scene with a group of people. In the center, a man is being whipped by another man. The man being whipped is wearing a white cloth around his waist, and there is blood on his back. To the left, a woman in a white headscarf is watching. On the right, a man is carrying a large cross on his shoulder. The painting is done in dark colors, with some lighter shades on the figures. The background is dark and shadowy, which makes the figures stand out. You might also like to look at the work of Francisco Goya.
