• mary is embracing the cross.she represents purity, in contrast to the prostitutes in Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
• the lady in blue, represents promiscuity who hide herself behind the robe of Virgin Mary, to seek refuge
• the 2 fruits represent the forbidden fruit,the sign of temptation,which brought sin to the human race
• the fire represents suffering that jesus had to undergo during crucifixion
• the ghostly figure and the dragon represents the devil, trying to tempt jesus to avoid the cross during the agony in the garden of gesthamane
• jesus is suffering. he is praying for strength from God.
