This is a painting of a crucifixion scene with figures on either side of the cross. The central figure is on a cross, with two figures standing on each side. The central figure is draped in a cloth around the waist, with visible rib cage details, and a halo behind their head. The figure on the left appears somber, with hands clasped near the chest, cloaked in heavy drapery, and a matching halo. To the right, another figure stands, holding a book, with a similar halo. The painting features deep linework and earthy tones, minimal background details of cracked earth and a sparse patch of green. The style is reminiscent of medieval woodcut illustrations.
