Christ with the Crown of Thorns in a Red Mantle

A half-length figure of Christ wearing a crown of thorns turns his head to the side against a dark background, with faint rays of light radiating behind his head. He wears a loose red mantle over his bare chest, crossing his hands in front of him, while a small monogram marks the upper right corner.
