Painting of a figure in a red robe and crown of thorns descending steps under an arch, flanked by armored soldiers and a crowd below.

Christ Leaving the Praetorium

A figure in a long red robe, with a crown of thorns, stands on a staircase beneath a dark vaulted archway while soldiers in armor and a crowd of onlookers gather below. The painting uses loose, dramatic brushwork and strong contrast of light and shadow in an oil-like technique.
