A vertical black-and-white engraving features Christ with light skin, hunched as he carries a heavy wooden cross inside a winepress. He is centered within an oval frame inside an ornate architectural cartouche. Four winged cherubs flank him; one holds an "INRI" sign while others carry instruments of the Passion. Latin text fills decorative plaques at the top and bottom. Elaborate scrolls and hanging fruit garlands adorn the intricate composition.
