Four men surround him, one kneeling sticking out his tongue, his right hand on right arm of Christ; the second pulling on each side of his mouth with his hands; the third, wearing hat, raises right arm; and the fourth, wearing helmet and armor with saber at waist, pulls hair of Christ. Scene in room with barred windows.
