About this work

This image shows a woman with a pale face and dark hair, dressed in a simple yellow robe. Behind her, a man with a crown of thorns and a cross stands, holding a sign with letters. The background is filled with bright orange flowers and green leaves, creating a busy, colorful frame. The woman’s face looks calm but sad, while the man behind her seems to be in pain. The flowers around them are painted in bold, flat colors, giving the scene a folk-art feel. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
