About this work

This painting shows three figures standing side by side. The person in the middle is nailed to a cross, with a halo around their head. The two figures on either side wear long robes in bright colors—red, green, and blue—and have calm faces. Above the cross is a banner with writing, and birds fly around the top edges. The cross itself is simple, with a small sign above the figure’s head. The colors are flat, and the faces look almost like carved wood. This style feels very old and direct. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
