Crucifixion

John Baptist Jackson

Sepia-toned etching of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus is on a cross in the center, with a halo around his head. His arms are outstretched. He is wearing a loincloth. Below him are several people, some kneeling and others sitting on the ground. To the left, a man on horseback holds a rope. On the right, people are gathered around. In the background, there are hills and a cloudy sky. At the bottom of the image is a decorative border with text. The image depicts a dramatic scene with many figures.
