About this work

This small drawing shows a man nailed to a cross with his arms spread wide. Two women kneel on either side—one in blue and red, the other in brown—looking up at him. Above the cross, two faces peek from clouds, and a sun-like figure with wings stands to the right. The background is simple, with gold and blue shapes that look like flowers or halos. The man’s face is blurred, making him feel more like a symbol than a person. The colors are flat and bright, with no shadows to show depth. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
