The nudity of the figure is true to the Gospels.  Christ's clothing being removed by Roman soldiers is offered as the fulfilment of Psalm 22:18, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."  All of the Gospel writers suggest the nakedness, while John supplies the details:Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 'They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots.' These things therefore the soldiers did.
The sign attached to the cross includes Jesus' accusation inscribed in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The wording translates "Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews".  All of the evangelists record this inscription, which varies slightly among them.  Here the artist favored the rendering from John's Gospel (John 19:19).
Also present is the spear wound inflicted into Jesus' side by a Roman soldier.  His blood is seen here dripping from the wound on his right side.
