This painting shows a man with a crown of thorns, sitting on a table with his head down. He is shirtless and has blood on his body. A woman in a white headscarf and robe is on the left, holding a cloth to her face. A man in a red robe is on the right, looking at the man with the crown. The background is dark. The man with the crown seems to be in pain. The woman and man next to him look sad. This painting is by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
