In this canvas adhered to board Jesus Christ is represented as Ecce Homo. The spindly features have been modeled with nuanced shades that enhance the expressiveness of the face. Blood drips from the crown of thorns that girdles his forehead. The red cloth, a color associated with the Passion and sacrifice, wraps around his shoulders, leaving his torso naked and vulnerable. Handcuffed, the eyes clouded with pain silently dialogue with God the Father. The slender-fingered hands are held together by a rope. The devotional painting conveys the extreme loneliness of Jesus at the moment when he is exposed to be judged and condemned.
