The figures in the painting are shown in various poses, with some looking up towards the cross and others looking down at the figure being lowered. The overall mood of the painting is one of solemnity and reverence. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure.
