About this work

This painting depicts a crucifixion scene, with Jesus Christ on the cross. He is shirtless, wearing a white cloth around his waist, and his arms are outstretched. Two figures stand on either side of the cross: a woman on the left, wearing a red headscarf and a long, dark dress, and a man on the right, wearing a red robe over a green tunic. The background is gold, with a few red symbols and a white wall behind the figures. The painting's use of gold in the background gives it a sense of luxury and importance. The artist's attention to detail in the figures' clothing and expressions adds depth to the scene.
