The etching demonstrates his skill in capturing the intricate stonework and the weathered surfaces of the calvary, bringing to life the historical and cultural essence of the scene. The composition is both detailed and balanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ on the cross while also inviting exploration of the surrounding figures and architectural elements.
