This is a detailed relief sculpture depicting a scene from the Passion of Christ, specifically the Way of the Cross, located in Prešov, Slovakia. The sculpture is part of the Stations of the Cross at the Church of St. Nicholas (St. Mikuláš Cathedral). In the center, Jesus, portrayed with a beard and wearing a red robe, is being led by two figures. One figure to Jesus's left, with a greenish-brown tunic, holds Jesus by a rope or chain around his neck. Another figure to Jesus's right, wearing a dark brown garment and a cap, assists Jesus with carrying a large wooden cross. Jesus's head is bowed and he appears to be in pain. To the left of Jesus, a bare-chested man in a reddish-brown tunic and a green headband is shown with his arm raised, holding a rope. In the foreground on the far left, another man, also with a bare chest and wearing a green headband and trousers, stands with his arms at his sides. In front of Jesus, a woman in a dark robe is kneeling and holding up a white cloth. On the cloth is a painted image of Jesus's face, seemingly a Veronica's Veil. Behind Jesus and to the right, several women are present. One, wearing a green robe and a red head covering, appears to be looking towards Jesus. Another woman to her right, dressed in a dark purple robe and white veil, has her hand on her chest. A woman in the middle ground, behind the kneeling woman, is also veiled and appears to be wiping her eyes. The background of the sculpture is painted a dark teal color, with stylized brown clouds depicted in the upper section. The overall impression is a dramatic and sorrowful portrayal of Christ's suffering. The sculpture is made of painted wood and exhibits signs of age and wear.
