The image shows several figures surrounding a crucifixion. The main figure is on a wooden cross with outstretched arms and crossed feet, nailed in place. He has a bearded face with closed eyes, wears a crown of thorns, and is clad in a cloth around the waist. There are angels around the cross holding chalices to collect blood. To the left, a woman stands with hands clasped, wearing a robe and a halo. To the right, a man with long hair and a beard stands with hands together, also wearing a robe and halo. Below, skeletal remains are scattered on the ground.
