A figure with long hair and a long robe stands center-left, being grabbed from behind by a man in armor. The man in armor stands on the left side, with his right hand on the figure's shoulder and his left hand on the hilt of his sword. To the right, a man kneels on one knee, holding a sword in his right hand and his cloak in his left hand. A man lies on the ground to the left, holding a staff in his right hand and a lantern lies nearby. In the background, several men in armor are gathered, some holding torches and others holding swords. A fence and a distant building are visible on the right side. The scene depicts The Betrayal of Christ, created by Hendrick Goltzius, also known as The Passion.
