The painting depicts a scene of multiple people in a landscape. In the center, a semi-nude man with long hair and a white cloth around his waist is being led by two men. One of the men holds a whip. A crowd surrounds them. Some people are holding or standing near wooden beams. A woman in a red dress stands on the right. Mountains are visible in the background beneath a cloudy sky. The scene is titled "Preparation for the Crucifixion" and was created by Peter Paul Rubens.
