Ecce Homo [verso]

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image contains a group of people from head to toe. In the center, there is a figure wearing a crown of thorns with a red and yellow halo. This figure is partially clothed with a red robe, standing under a structure, and has visible marks on the skin. Surrounding them are several other standing figures. The person to the right of the central figure is dressed in green garments and wearing a turban. The others in the group are dressed in robes of varying colors such as blue, pink, and yellow, some with head coverings. The background includes architectural elements, like an arched canopy and patterned flooring beneath the central figure, with a plain background behind the other people.
