The Virgin Mary and Saint John mourn at the foot of a tall cross. To the right, Christ prays in the Garden of Gethsemane whilst his disciples sleep - the Agony in the Garden. To the left are three sequential scenes from Christ's Passion set within, or in front of, Pontius Pilate's palace. The Denial of Saint Peter is at the bottom; Pilate Washing his Hands is above alongside the Crowning with Thorns.
