Description: | Linear drawing of muscular figure seen from behind with arms outstretched, hands turned vertically upwards and head lowered wearing a crown of thorns. Draped from the waist down in andulating cloth which reveal one foot on the right. Suggestion of mound that figure is stood on. A line of blood arcs away from the figure's chest. On the left is a globe with a figure bound and blindfold with knees bent up to chin and hands and feet close together. A globe on the right depicts a vortex around a figure with a bare chest tilting his head back and catching in his mouth the blood from the central figure.
