The Pious Women (wearing colorful tunics/robes) and St John (wearing a green garment and a red mantle/cloak) are holding her up. On the left of the group, an angel is showing the scene to a devotee. Behind the group in the foreground, several mounted soldiers, armed with lances/spears and swords, encircle the three crosses. Jesus, crucified between two thieves, is passing away.
