The sculpture depicts a group of figures removing a body from a cross. The central figure is being taken down with the help of two ladders, one person supporting from above and another from the side. Surrounding the scene are other individuals standing, kneeling, or sitting. The foreground shows rocky terrain and vegetation, while the background includes hills, clouds, and structures resembling buildings or tombs. The bronze sculpture has a dark brown color, highlighting details of the figures and the landscape. The composition gives a three-dimensional effect, creating depth in the scene of the descent from the cross.
