Summary:
Jesus is bound to a whipping pillar. His arms are not visible, bound behind him to the pillar. His legs are bound together at the ankles. His head tilts to his proper right side and his eyes are closed. He has numerous pierces and slash marks over his upper body and legs and wears a small loin cloth. Next to Christ, a man stands proper right arm raised, holding a whip. His proper left hand also holds a whip down at his side.
