The image shows a man in a crucifixion pose, suspended from a wooden cross. The man has a crown of thorns on his head, his eyes partially closed, and is wearing a cloth around his waist. He is surrounded by a detailed cityscape with architectural structures and a cloudy sky in the background. There is text above and below the image.
