This print depicts a dramatic scene from The Passion of Christ, specifically the moment when Christ is brought before Annas, the high priest. Christ stands bound in the center, surrounded by soldiers and figures, while Annas is seated on a throne to the right. The composition is highly detailed, characteristic of Northern Renaissance printmaking, featuring intricate architectural settings and numerous figures. Latin inscriptions below the main image offer biblical references or commentary on the scene.

Galle frequently collaborated with prominent artists like Maerten de Vos and Stradanus, and he is known for his large output of biblical, mythological, and historical subjects, often executed with masterful technical skill.
