The young adulteress has evidently spent some time on her knees before reaching her final destination. Now her wrists and feet are sealed so effectively against the timber that no bloodstains appear on the wood. The cross and nails are quite distinctive, and the long, flowing hair is a characteristic trademark. Fine details include restrained moisture from the eyes and the dramatic tension of the clawed fingers. I think we are seeing multiple light sources revealing the physical definition of the figure in this compelling outdoor scene. Congratulations on a very expressive image, Em!
A compelling scene, but it takes two people to violate a marriage. Where's the guy who participated? The woman suffers and the guy walks.
Did he even visit her while she was suffering on her cross?
"So sorry my dear, but my wife found out about us. I had to throw you under the
bus wagon."
"You fucking bastard! I thought you loved me! You said so. So many times! You said there was no danger! You lied to me you worthless excuse for a man. Aaauuuugh! I'm in so much pain! You let them crucify me! How could you? How could you?"
"Again, I'm so, so sorry this happened. Really. But my life is pretty miserable now too. My wife is a bitch, I admit it. It's tough living with her now. Heck, it's not like I got away perfectly free. I'm suffering too you know."
"But. You're. Not. Crucified! You fucking excuse for a man! Let me tell you, you were a lousy fuck! I only stayed with you because I liked benefitting from your money. While you were away I was fucking every guy I could. And they knew how to fuck!"
"So, you were cheating on me! Hmm. Interesting. I was cheating on my wife while you were cheating in me. Well, whatever. Doesn't matter to me now. Your being crucified was my wife's idea. She reported you to the authorities. She forced my hand. I had to go along."
"Fuck . . . you . . .aaauuuuggghhhh!"
"Oh, shit. Here she comes. She may have some choice words for you. I better get out of here. Oh, and thanks for the good times. While they lasted, at least. So long, my dear. No hard feelings, OK? Hope you die soon."
