This is a painting of a group of individuals surrounding a large wooden cross. The scene depicts various figures engaged in moving and supporting the cross, some in dynamic poses as they pull or push it. They are dressed in historical garments, including helmets and robes, suggestive of an ancient or biblical setting. The background has additional figures on horseback, with one horse depicted in an expressive stance. The color palette is composed of earth tones, reds, and blues, with a stylized rendering that emphasizes the narrative and movement within the composition. This is in the style of Diego Rivera.
