Christ as the Man of Sorrows is shown seated on the edge of his sarcophagus, displaying his wounds and bearing the crown of thorns on his head. Mary and St John flank Christ, with the former weeping into her robe and the latter with his hands clasped in prayer. Apart from the edge of the tomb the background is one of unrelieved darkness without the angels featured in the previous compositions.
