The limp body of Jesus Christ is being lifted by two men into a darken space. His curved body fills most of the page. White light from behind shines on them. The man to the left and behind Jesus supports his shoulders and looks in the direction of the darkness. The man to the right lifts his feet. Jesus' bearded face is seen in profile, his brown hair curls over his shoulders, and his muscular body is dressed only in a loin cloth. Behind him, and to the right, are two figures, one resting his bowed head on Christ's left arm, and the other, with eyes cast upwards, has his hands pressed together in prayer.
