The image shows a figure carrying a large wooden cross. The individual is positioned bending slightly forward under the weight of the cross, which rests on his shoulder. His face is turned slightly to the left, with long brown hair and a beard, wearing a green crown on his head and a long brown robe. Other individuals in the background are dressed in robes of various colors, including red, blue, and brown, with some figures also visible in profile or three-quarter views. Two of them have golden halos around their heads. The background consists of a vibrant green ground beneath a blue and light brown sky.
