About this work

This painting shows a central figure nailed to a cross with arms spread wide. Two people stand on either side, dressed in long robes—one in green and red, the other in orange and gray. The background is faded but has a red sky with a faint cityscape and two small faces peeking from clouds. The central figure’s face is calm, but the body shows signs of pain. The two standing figures have halos, suggesting they’re holy or important. The paint looks old, with some spots where color has worn away. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
