The painting depicts a version of the seated Man of Sorrows as a half-length figure with a whip and a bundle of rods in his right hand. Christ has placed his left hand on on his chest and presents the wounds of his Passion. His body is covered with sores and drops of blood. He gazes beyond the pictorial space, and this should prompt compassion. [Görres, cda 2018]
