介绍（中）	就像附近展出的祭坛画研究一样，这幅画可以追溯到波利多罗职业生涯的最后阶段，当时他活跃在西西里岛。对十字架的描绘令人难忘，显示基督被隔离在一个精心制作的圣物箱状十字架上，十字架从树干上升起，暗指伊甸园中的知识之树，它结着亚当和夏娃食用的禁果，促使通过基督的牺牲救赎的恩典降临。圣母玛利亚、福音传道者约翰和抹大拉的玛利亚的哀悼雕像被隔离在悲痛中，占据了十字架底部的空间。该图纸的功能未知；它可能是一个贡法隆或游行横幅的设计，由一个致力于十字架的基督教会委托（在这种情况下，图中的十字架可能暗指一个真正的崇敬对象，也许是真十字架的圣物箱）。这种轻量的作品，画在画布上，当安装在演讲室或会议室时，通常会兼作祭坛画或宗教图像。
介绍（英）	Like the studies for an altarpiece exhibited nearby, this drawing dates from the last phase of Polidoro's career, when he was active in Sicily. The haunting depiction of the Crucifixion shows Christ isolated on an elaborate reliquary-like cross rising from the trunk of a tree-an allusion to the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden that bore the forbidden fruit consumed by Adam and Eve, precipitating the fall from grace redeemed through Christ's sacrifice. Isolated in their grief, the mourning figures of the Virgin Mary, John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalen occupy the space at the base of the cross. The function of this drawing is unknown; it may be a design for a gonfalone, or processional banner, commissioned by a confraternity dedicated to the Crucifix (in which case the Crucifix in the drawing may allude to an actual object of veneration, perhaps a reliquary of the True Cross). Such lightweight works, painted on canvas, often doubled as altarpieces or devotional images when installed in an oratory or the chapter house of a confraternity.
