The painting depicts a man with a crown of thorns, his head tilted to the left. He is shirtless, with a red cloth draped over his left shoulder and tied around his waist. His hands are bound by a rope. A quiet detail is the subtle use of light and shadow on the man's face and body, adding depth to the scene.
