DescriptionThere are three semi-nude male figures hanging on crosses, the center male figure has a thorn circlet and a sign above him "INRI". Below the center figure is a group of figures weeping. In the foreground is a group of figures with fancy hats, all but one are sitting, seemingly indifferent of the scene and in conversation. The sky behind the crosses is dark and cloudy, with the sun in the upper left corner and the moon in the center right.On View
