The image shows a depiction of three figures centered around the crucifixion scene. The central figure is Jesus on a cross, with his arms outstretched and nailed to the wooden beams. He is wearing a crown of thorns and is clad in a simple cloth around his waist. His head is tilted downward, and his long hair and beard frame his face. On either side of Jesus are two individuals. To the left, a woman wearing a long robe and a head covering stands with her hands crossed in front of her. On the right is a man with curly hair and wearing a long robe. The background features the depiction of a sun and a moon in the sky, with a grassy hill underfoot and a skull at the base of the cross. The scene is framed in a rectangular border.
