This painting is a triptych, meaning it has three panels. The center panel shows Jesus on the cross, with people around him. On the left panel, a man is kneeling and praying. On the right panel, a woman is also kneeling and praying. The painting is very detailed, with lots of colors and textures. The people in the painting are wearing old-fashioned clothes, and the background looks like a landscape with hills and trees. The artist who made this painting is Joos van Cleve.
