DescriptionThis is an oil painting portraying a group of ten figures in the foreground. A yellow figure kneels in the forefront, facing backward to the viewers. A group of soldiers wearing red and silver on the left are pulling back the Christ-like figure in the center towards them. A man in blue whispers into the ears of the Christ-like figure by his left hand. The figure in the corner on the right is holding up a knife with his eyes closed. The background on the left is in darkness, while the right has a cloudy sky with a wooden structure and two hills in distance.On View
