This particular artwork is characterized by a central figure, Jesus, nailed to the cross with blood trickling from his wounds. To the left, there appears to be a figure traditionally identified as the Virgin Mary, cloaked in blue and white, her face depicting sorrow.

Below the cross lies a skull and bones, symbolizing Golgotha, the place of the skull where the crucifixion took place. This symbolism is typical of Crucifixion scenes in Christian art. The painting demonstrates a mastery of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting that is indicative of Baroque art, emphasizing the emotional intensity of the scene.
