This print shows a group of people in a space lined with columns and tall arches. In the middle of the print, a person is tied to a column. They have a beard, long hair, a bare chest, and a cloth tied around their waist. Their hands are behind their back, and there is a halo around their head. They are surrounded by other people who grab and kick and them. The surrounding people hold long whips above the central person. On the ground in front of the group are a discarded whip, a shallow bowl, and some thin blocks.
