About this work

This painting depicts a scene where Jesus Christ stands in the center, wearing a blue robe with his right arm raised and pointing upwards. He is surrounded by a group of men, some of whom are dressed in robes and head coverings. One man on the right is holding a coin in his hand. The scene is set against a backdrop of stone columns, with a glimpse of sky visible in the background. The overall atmosphere is one of solemnity and contemplation.
