About this work

This painting shows two women in bright red robes with green trim, standing on either side of a small cross. The woman on the left holds her hands together, while the one on the right looks down at a figure nailed to the cross. Behind them, a tree with red leaves and blue sky fills the background, framed by a dark, patterned border. The women’s faces are simple, with bold outlines and flat colors, giving them a calm, almost solemn look. The cross in the center is small but clear, with the figure’s arms spread wide. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next—it’s a technique that creates shading with crisscrossed lines.
