The image shows multiple figures within the composition. A man is being lowered from a large wooden cross, supported by surrounding figures. His upper body is reclined as two individuals reach down from ladders to assist in the process. The central figure has curly hair and a detailed beard. Various other individuals with distinct facial features and different hairstyles are also present, focused on assisting in lowering the central figure. All figures wear intricately detailed garments, hinting at a historical or biblical theme. There are no visible jewelry. The background consists of sketched lines and forms of a cross and ladders, framed by the texture of the paper and the lines of the sketch itself.
