Description
A depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus is presented, with Jesus nailed to a cross, his head adorned with a crown and tilted to the side in an expression of suffering or death. Above his head, the sign "INRI" is inscribed, which is an acronym of the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum" meaning "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews." The artwork portrays a mix of solemnity and religious iconography, using a dark background that contrasts with the lighter tones of the figure and shroud.
