Crucifix

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Crucifix" by an unknown artist depicts a crucifix with a dark wooden cross and a bronze figure of Jesus Christ. The cross has a rectangular shape with a vertical beam slightly longer than the horizontal beam. The bronze figure of Jesus Christ is nailed to the cross with outstretched arms. He has a loincloth around his waist. A small figure of Mary is attached to the bottom of the cross below Jesus. A cylindrical object resembling a candle holder is at the top of the vertical beam. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
