This painting shows a group of people in white robes, with one man in the center carrying a large cross. He is barefoot and has long hair, and is being pulled by two men on either side of him. The men pulling the cross are wearing white robes and hats, and are holding onto the cross with both hands. The background of the painting is dark, with some buildings visible in the distance. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and facial expressions of the figures. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene.
