Composition and Style
The painting depicts Jesus Christ on the cross, surrounded by St. John the Evangelist and St. Jerome.

The two saints are positioned on either side of the cross, their gazes directed upwards towards Jesus. The background features a serene landscape with rolling hills and trees under a clear sky. The painting is executed in a realistic style typical of the late Gothic period, with attention to detail evident in the folds of the robes and the naturalistic depiction of the figures' expressions and postures.
