The image depicts a painting of three faces shown from the shoulders up within a rectangular frame. Each face has distinct features with beards and long dark hair, wearing crowns of thorns. Red lines suggest blood flowing down their faces and necks. Above them, a larger face with a halo around the head is centered at the top. The background features a yellow canvas with a red curtain draped at the top, bordered by a blue and red design wrapping around the central figures.
