The four pictures in this set are designed in the Gothic Revival style, with each picture painted on copper, which imitates the gold-leaf of medieval painting. The copper is profusely tooled with grids of fleur-de-lis and crosses fleury.
The paintings depict moments drawn from the Stations of the Cross, including Jesus falling for the third time, Jesus being stripped of his garments, Jesus being nailed to the cross, and the entombment.
The works are painted in a bright and vibrant manner, which accents the golden copper ground. The copper panels are contained within carved oak frames, which are set with plaques beneath that describe the scene above.
