In a subject that he characterizes as \u201crarely, if ever, treated,\u201d Tissot paints Jesus in prison\u2014bound to a stone post, his hands chained but upraised in prayer. The artist notes the white light shining down, a further indication of the early hour on Good Friday. While Jesus prays, his guards, wearing armor, slump over in pre-dawn slumber.

Dressed in a brown garment, Jesus has been stripped of the glowing white robe associated with his ministry. Now, as Tissot notes in the accompanying text, he wears just the seamless cloak that he has worn since his youth. This garment, first seen in The Youth of Jesus, was woven by the Virgin and, according to legend, grew as he did.

Archaeologically rigorous and eager to locate the relics associated with Christ\u2019s Passion, Tissot claims that fragments of the stone post are now in the Church of Santa Prassede in Rome.
