Oil painting of a crucifixion scene with a central figure on a cross flanked by two robed figures on rocky ground, against a dark background, in a gilt frame
Oil painting of a crucifixion scene against a dark background. A pale figure is mounted on a wooden cross with a titulus tablet above. To the left, a robed figure in blue bows with head lowered; to the right, a kneeling figure in green and red looks upward with hands clasped in prayer. A skull rests at the base of the cross on sandy ground.
Oil painting in a gilt frame depicting a pale male figure lying outstretched on a wooden cross on the ground, with three figures attending him; a turbaned figure at left raises a hammer, while two men at right pull ropes, one wearing a red draped garment. A basket of nails, a small pitcher, and a pink cloth lie nearby on grey ground, with dark trees in the background. Smooth, refined brushwork.
