Christ hangs on the cross with his arms stretched upwards and his head turned slightly to the right. In the background is the city of Jerusalem, on which a ray of sunlight falls through the clouds. On a ledge on the side behind the cross there are several persons, among them presumably a soldier with a lance. On the back remains of a label with the inscription "ICH HOFFMANN". The painting is shown in the photo album of the NSDAP photojournalist Heinrich Hoffmann (Bundesarchiv Koblenz, B 323/203) as no. 212.
