The Roman governor, wearing a turban, is seated on a cushioned bench set on a podium.

A servant standing nearby grasps a long towel which is thrown across his shoulders. At the right, two guards lead Christ away.The subject is copied after a print of Lambert Hopfer, which was inspired by the corresponding scene in the "Little Passion" of Dürer (B. VIII, no. 10 [180] p. 527).
