The Crucifixion

after Master FVB

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures in a crucifixion scene. In the center, a man is crucified on a large ornate cross, with arms outstretched and head tilted downward. He wears a crown of thorns, a loincloth, and has long hair and a beard. To the left, a woman stands with hands clasped, wearing a long garment and a halo. On the right, another male figure stands with a halo, draped in robes. Beneath the cross is a small skull among stones. The background features hills, trees, and distant structures under a softly shaded sky.
