Part of Pablo Picasso's donation to Museu Pablo Picasso Barcelona 1970.

A painting of the Crucifixion by Pablo Picasso, part of his 1970 donation to the Museu Picasso in Barcelona. Rendered in a loose, expressive style, the central figure is depicted with an elongated, pale body against a dark, tumultuous background. The gestural brushwork defines Christ's form with a focus on emotion rather than precise detail. The work, on a sheet of paper or unstretched canvas with visible creases and worn edges, is tacked to a gridded surface, suggesting it may be a study.
