This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene. The composition depicts three crosses with figures on them, positioned prominently in the center; the central cross is emphasized by radiant lines. The drawing is filled with figures below the crosses, appearing to be a gathering crowd, some on horseback and others standing, with many holding spears and banners. In the background, there are drawings of buildings and hills. The use of line in the drawing is detailed, capturing both human figures and landscape elements with clarity. There is an intricate play of line work to depict expressions and gestures.
