The Scottish artist, Adrian Wiszniewski executed a series on The Stations of the Cross. This is one of the fourteen panels.

It is a modern treatment of the events of the Passion of Christ.

The figures are clad in modern dress, but stand outside time and space, and appear to us as universal ‘types’ beyond the confines of any specific culture.
