The Mercy Seat; God the father sits frontally on a couch with the crucified Christ in front of him. From his mouth the Holy Spirit; in the form of a dove; flies down to the head of Christ. God the Father; whose head leans slightly to the left; stares straight ahead with a soft expression. His hair falls on the back; the long mustache hangs down the corners of the mouth. The slightly bent right arm is raised; with the left hand he will have held the cross. Christ's body bends slightly to the left; the thorn-crowned head with half-opened mouth lies against the right shoulder. God the Father wears; over a robe that is received around the waist like a choir shirt; a wide cloak that falls open through the spread arms; but which comes together between the knees and hangs over the couch and knees in large folds. The toes of the left foot appear under the cloak.
