The composition is divided vertically iato tvo equal parts. Tlie r. half
is occupied by Herod, who sits on a low semicircular throne, wearing a
crown with a high centre, resembling in shape a Phrygian cap. He has
a long flowing robe with sleeves tight at the wrist, and boots laced at the
side. Christ stands 1. with a cruciform nimbus, accompanied by a gaoler,
with a closely packed group of nine soldiers in conical helmets behind
him. The design is carried out in outline without any hatching, and the
folds of the drapery of the sitting figure are rounded.

Christ stands, centre, on the base of a column, to which he is bound by
cords which pass diagonally across his breast and round his legs. His
head leans to r. as tliough turned away from the blows aimed at him by
two ruflians, h, one with a bundle of rods, the other with a scourge of
three lashes. To r. a hand holding a bundle of rods emerges apparently
from a slit in the wall, while a scourge with three lashes ending in spikes
hangs from a cord above it. The design is cut in outline without hatch-
ing. The ground is sprinkled with groups of vertical or slightly slanting
lines, intended for grass. Triple border.
[175 X 118.] Good impression and well preserved, but slightly worm-eaten. Tbo
outer line of the border bas broken away in two places. Margin [7]. Watermark:
bull’s head with flower. Colours: greeu, pink, crimson lake, red lead, yellow ochre,
dark grey, black; border, outer part crimson lake, iuner part ochre.
