The image is a black and white engraving depicting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. At the center of the composition, Jesus is nailed to a tall, simple cross. He is presented almost in isolation, with a partially clothed body, a crown of thorns upon His head, and His eyes looking upwards. Above His head, there is an inscription on a plaque, which is not clearly legible in the image but typically reads "INRI" (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), which translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews". The background features dark, ominous clouds above and a panoramic landscape below that includes hills, a path, sparse vegetation, and a distant building or castle atop a hill, possibly signifying Jerusalem or the outside of the city walls where crucifixions were traditionally carried out. At the bottom, the image is labeled "CHRISTVS CRVCIFIXVS," which is Latin for "Christ Crucified." Below that, there are two names presumably associated with the creation of the piece, "P.P. Rubens pinxit" indicating that Peter Paul Rubens painted the original artwork this engraving is based on, and "C. Galle sculpsit" indicating that Cornelis Galle the Elder engraved this particular print.
