The Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew by Jusepe de Ribera shows a man suspended upside down from a tree branch by his wrists, which are tied with rope. The man has a beard and is barefoot and naked except for a cloth around his waist. He is surrounded by several men. One man to his right holds his waist and another to the left holds a knife. A man behind them on the right wears a helmet and armor. The scene is set outdoors with rocks and some foliage on the ground. The sky is cloudy.
