The image depicts multiple figures in a historical-religious context. A central figure carries a wooden cross on his shoulder, wearing a light-colored garment, a crown of thorns, and showing wounds. Other figures in historical outfits, some with red headgear, surround him. One figure reaches out towards the crown, and another helps carry the cross. Background figures have halos. The setting is outdoors with a rocky ground. The scene captures movement and interaction among the figures.
