This is a painting of a crucifixion scene. It depicts a central figure nailed to a cross, with blood flowing from wounds in the hands, feet, and side. On each side of the cross, there are two figures with halos. One is dressed in blue with a white veil, and the other in purple with a red mantle. The background is simple, emphasizing the scene in the foreground. The painting uses bold outlines and vibrant colors to emphasize the figures. It is in the style of Medieval religious iconography.
