The image is a woodcut of a crucifixion scene. It shows three crosses with figures upon them against a detailed background of a landscape with a city and hills. In the foreground, various figures in different poses, some on horseback and others on foot, are gathered around the base of the crosses. The scene conveys a narrative through the expressions and gestures of the figures, using intricate line work typical of woodcut techniques. This is in the style of Albrecht Dürer.
