Two characters are the protagonists of this devotional image, emphasizing between them the figure of Christ. Its preponderant position in the composition, its monumentality, and the warmth of the tonalities with respect to the other character, reinforce the protagonism of the figure of Jesus. He is humiliated, seated with his arms folded on his stomach, resigned and with his face fallen, humbly accepting the situation. In the case of the other figure, both his actions and his anatomical features are shown from a grotesque perspective. The scene reflects the words referred to in the New Testament; St. Matthew 27:28-31
"And they stripped him naked, and put a scarlet robe on him, and put a crown of thorns woven on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spat upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they took off his cloak, and put his garments on him, and led him away to crucify him".
The theme of Ecce Homo belongs to the Passion cycle and precedes the Crucifixion. Following this iconography, Jesus is presented at the moment when the soldiers mock him, after crowning him with thorns, dressing him in a purple robe (here red, the symbolic colour of the Passion) and placing a reed in his hand, kneeling down and exclaiming "Hail, King of the Jews". The words "Ecce Homo" are those pronounced by Pilate when presenting Christ to the crowd; their translation is "behold the man", a phrase by which he mocks Jesus and implies that Christ's power was no match for that of the rulers who were judging him.
