The painting depicts a somber scene with five figures. A shirtless man with long brown hair and a crown of thorns on his head, bearing visible wounds, sits on a stone block; his body supported by a white-clad figure on his left. A woman in a red dress sits to his right, touching his chest. A bearded man in a red and white head covering stands behind her. A woman in a red cloak stands on the right, her face partially covered by her hand. A younger woman in a patterned dress and orange shawl kneels on the right, supporting the seated man's leg. The dark background contrasts with the figures. The title of the painting is "Pietà" and the artist is Albrecht Dürer.
