In this depiction of the procession to Calvary, Christ falls under the cross and is surrounded by the figures of soldiers and mourners.

Two men on horseback approach from the right and Saint Veronica kneels in the right foreground. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
