A vertically oriented print in dense black-inked fine lines depicts Christ, a man with a light skin tone, wavy hair, and a beard. Shaded with fine hash marks, he stands centrally as armed soldiers grasp him. To our left, Pilate sits on a throne under a tasseled canopy, wearing a fur-trimmed robe. An arched stone doorway on our right reveals additional figures with upright spears filling the background.
