This picture shows a man nailed to a cross, with blood dripping down. Two people stand below him—one in blue and red, the other in green and red robes. The background is a flat blue sky, and the ground has a few plants and a skull. The colors are added by hand after printing, which makes them look a little uneven. The text at the bottom is in Latin, but it’s hard to read up close. If this style of printing interests you, look up woodcut.
