About this work

This painting shows three figures in a flat, simple style. In the center, a man is nailed to a cross with arms spread wide. To his left stands a woman in a long robe, hands clasped. To his right is another man, also in robes, looking down. The background is dark with gold accents, and the edges of the painting have a textured frame. The figures have bold outlines and bright colors—reds, blues, and golds—with some parts, like the cross, outlined in tiny lines. The woman’s robe has a star-like shape on her chest, and the man on the right has a halo. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
