Description

Jesus in red and white is kneeling on the ground under the weight of his cross. Simon the Cyreneen, with white hair and dressed in bright yellow, is helping him lift it. Two women are huddled together in the background, and a soldier carrying a spear with "INRI" on a plaque is gesturing them on. "V. Simon le Cyreneen aide Jesus a porter sa Croix." is printed at the bottom - or, 'Simon the Cyreneen helps Jesus carry his cross.'
