Crucifixion with Spectators
The cross of Christ stands in the middle under a painted trefoil; on the right and left, the crosses with the two thieves stand slightly set back; the bodies of the crucified men contrast with the bright sky, into which the lances and flags of the crowd, which fills the remaining space, extend; on the right, next to the cross of Christ, a banner floats; above each cross, there is a bird or an angel in avian form; the crucifix stands on a piece of rock, with Mary Magdalene kneeling in front of it, her hands reaching for Christ; on the left behind her, Mary is just collapsing, supported by another woman; on the right next to the cross, there is John; the people belonging to Christ wear a halo; on the right behind John, there are several horsemen; the Crucifixion is painted on a golden background.
