The Crucifixion

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, ca. 1460

The image shows three figures in full length. In the center, a person on a wooden crucifix with nails in their hands and feet, and a crown of thorns on their head. They have long hair and a beard, and wear a white cloth around the waist. On the left, a figure in a blue cloak, white headscarf, and fair complexion, clasping their hands together. On the right, a figure in a red robe holding a book or scroll with their right hand. Both side figures have halos. The background has a simple border with floral designs in the corners, against a parchment-colored backdrop.
