This painting shows a crucifixion scene with Jesus on the cross, a woman in a blue robe to the left, and a man in a green robe to the right. The background is a blue sky with a few clouds. The woman is looking down, while the man is looking up at Jesus. The cross is made of wood and has a small sign at the top with the letters "INRI". The scene is set in a barren landscape with a few rocks and weeds. The painting is a hand-colored woodcut on laid paper, created in 1483. It is an example of Renaissance art.
