| Reverse description | Vibrant full-color depiction of the Fifth Station of the Cross, showing Simon of Cyrene being compelled by Roman soldiers to assist Jesus Christ in carrying the cross along the Via Dolorosa. Jesus, clad in a red robe and wearing the crown of thorns, is supported by Simon as onlookers and soldiers crowd the scene beneath overhanging willow branches in a painted, illustrative style. The composition fills the entire rectangular field with rich naturalistic color, evoking a narrative devotional painting. The Roman numeral 'V' is inscribed in a rectangular cartouche at the base of the design, denoting the Fifth Station. |
