Christ and the Penitent Sinners

Christ sits enthroned in a red mantle, holding a banner aloft, while a kneeling woman with long golden hair bows before him beside a chalice-like vessel. Crowned and bearded onlookers, a reclining man and a bare-backed figure crowd the dark, dramatic Baroque scene painted in rich oil colour.
