This is a drawing of an architectural structure with a crucifixion scene. The central figure is depicted on a cross, surrounded by an imposing shrine with classical details. The structure is adorned with carvings, including figures, scrolls, and foliage motifs. Two armored figures stand on the top of the structure, each holding a staff with a banner. At the base, there are mythical creatures and acanthus leaves decorating the niches. The overall composition is symmetrical, reminiscent of Renaissance engravings with a complex interplay of figures and decor.
