The image depicts a painting of St. Francis Kneeling before Christ on the Cross. Christ is on the cross with his arms outstretched and nailed to it. He has a halo and is wearing a loincloth. His body appears pale. The cross is black with a white dove on top and the letters INRI on a plaque. Blood drips from Christ's feet onto the ground. St. Francis is kneeling on the left, bald with a halo, wearing a brown robe. The background is red and gold. The painting is framed in a brown arch with a pointed top. The frame appears old and worn. The painting style appears to be from the Renaissance period. The overall mood is somber and reflective.
