This relief sculpture by Eric Gill depicts the biblical scene of Simon of Cyrene helping Jesus carry the cross. Created in a stylized, almost modern manner, the piece features three figures: Simon, Jesus, and a Roman soldier. The scene is carved in low relief, emphasizing the weight of the cross and the struggle of both men, making it a poignant visual commentary on faith and suffering. Gill’s unique style, with its simplified forms and attention to detail, blends traditional religious subject matter with modernist aesthetic elements.
