This is the left wing of a triptych (a painting in three parts) made for a convent near Delft in around 1510. The other panels, showing various episodes of the Crucifixion, are also in the National Gallery’s collection.

Here we see Christ, his hands bound and the crown of thorns on his head, being led out after his trial: he is to be crucified. A motley crowd of soldiers prepares the Cross, watched by a weeping woman and her children. In the background, two criminals described as thieves have been stripped and bound – they are to be executed alongside Christ at Calvary.

On the back of the panel are the Virgin and Child and Saint Augustine of Hippo, painted to look like stone statues set in a shared niche. They would have been visible when the shutters were closed.
