This work shows Jesus on the road to Calvary, carrying the cross. His face looks tired and sad. A crowd follows behind him, some faces angry, others sad. The artist uses thin, detailed lines to tell the story. The colors are dark, with only a few bright spots. This makes the scene feel heavy and serious. Look up the Master of the Banderoles (Netherlandish) for more works like this.
