The Crucifixion

About this work

This image shows three figures in a simple scene. A man is nailed to a cross, his head bent forward. Two people stand in front of him—one holds his hands, the other looks down at a small book. The background is flat, with a green ground and a cracked earth effect. The figures are drawn with clean, sharp lines and filled in with flat colors. The style looks very old, like it was made by hand a long time ago. This is made using the woodcut technique.
