Figure descriptions
Three shirtless men walk along a path. One man leads the other two. He holds a sword
over his shoulder and grasps a rope which
has been used to bind the hands of one of the other men. The two men behind him walk
barefoot. The man with bound hands hunches over
and the second man, Christ, embraces him. Light emanates from Christ’s body, and he
wears a crown of thorns.
Two armed soldiers follow the men from behind. They wear armour and hold spears over
their shoulders. A veiled woman hunches beside
the soldiers in the shadows. A nude child stands by her feet and tugs at her clothing.
There are jagged rocks along the path and
cliffs in the background. A human skull and bones lie in an adjacent field. Birds
fly high in the sky. Full-page illustration
