Description
Photograph of the painting "Christ Before Pilate" by Michael Monkascy, [s.d.]. Jesus stands at the center of the painting in a light colored robe, staring at Pontius Pilate (also Pilot), the Roman prefect of Judea, who is sitting on his elevated throne, also dressed in a light robe. Behind Jesus, a large crowd has gathered, mostly of men with turbans, and this crowd is being held back by a Roman soldier with a spear. In the bottom right corner of the picture are two old, beared men, possibly Pilates' advisors.
