The image depicts a scene with a crowd of people gathered below a raised platform. On the platform are several figures; one figure appears to be Jesus Christ. He is wearing a robe and has a crown of thorns on his head. The people on the platform are dressed in long robes and some are wearing turbans or other head coverings. Some are holding spears. The crowd below the platform is made up of men in robes and head coverings, some are standing and some are sitting. A few people are standing on the sides of the platform and on stairs leading up to it. The background features a large stone building with several windows and a doorway. There are carvings on the walls, including statues in alcoves on either side of the platform. The overall atmosphere suggests a biblical scene, possibly depicting the presentation of Jesus Christ to the people. The image is a drawing in black and white.
