Christ of Sorrows - Found Art from the Morgan
Christ of Sorrows,
Surrounded by clouds.
Christ, with a rayed nimbus,
wears a loincloth and displays His wounds.
He is standing within a mandorla
on a ledge.
In front of the ledge are half figures of a nimbed Virgin Mary,
wearing a wimpled veil and crossing her hands at her breast,
and a nimbed Evangelist John
with his joined hands raised.
The scene is framed by a border
with a donor kneeling beneath a canopy on a cushion.
His joined hands are raised before
an open book on a prie-dieu.
The figure is within an architectural setting of a church interior.
In the lower right corner,
a dog with a collar lies on the floor.
