Saint Francis and Clare at the foot of the Cross
The figure of Christ is placed against a sky with fading evening light, and this is central to the composition. On the cross above Christ's head hangs a placard reading " INRI" (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews).
St. Francis kneels to the Christ's left, while Saint Clare kneels down to his right. She holds the Monstrance in front of her, as Saint Francis opens his arms, displaying the stigmata on his hands. A look of ecstasy on his face. In the background you can see the fortified city of Jerusalem.
