Christ Crowned with Thorns

Andrea Scacciati after Bartolomeo Cesi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four men interacting. The central figure is seated with crossed legs, wavy hair, a beard, and a loose robe. The other three men are positioned around him, one standing behind and two crouched on either side, each holding a stick towards his head. They have short, curly hair, wear tunic-style clothing, and are barefoot. In the background is an architectural element resembling a doorway or frame with a triangular pediment on top.
