Bildbeschreibung
The image displays three figures. One central figure is depicted on a cross with outstretched arms and legs, tilting the face to the right. The figure wears minimal clothing and has a circular halo above the head. Flanking this central figure are two other individuals, one on the left with hands clasped and a solemn expression, and one on the right holding a book. The individuals are dressed in long garments with halos above their heads. The background is simple and enclosed within a border.
