Christ on the Cross between the Two Thieves

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures attached to wooden crosses. In the center, a figure with dark hair, a red head covering, and a cloth around the waist stands with arms outstretched. On either side, similar figures with dark hair, also with arms outstretched and heads bowed. All figures wear cloth around their waists, have markings on their bodies, and a solemn expression. The scene is framed in red with a blue sky and green lands in the background.
