This is a painting of a stylized figure on a crucifix with five smaller figures beneath. The central figure is depicted with an exaggerated, colorful garment featuring geometric patterns, outstretched arms, and a small top hat. Below, five smaller figures are arranged in a row on a platform that intersects the lower part of the cross. Each smaller figure appears to wear a variation of a hat and suit.
