Station of the Cross No. 7: "Jesus Falls the Second Time" c. 1936

"Jesus Falls the Second Time," painted around 1936 by Beulah Bradleigh, depicts the seventh station of the cross, a common subject in Christian art. This watercolor painting shows Jesus struggling under the weight of the cross, falling to his knees as soldiers and onlookers watch. The scene is set against a wall, with a group of women looking on from a balcony. The use of muted colors, and somewhat crude drawing style evoke a sense of pathos and solemnity, typical of the Stations of the Cross.
