This work is linked to John 12:12-15.

The painting is oil on canvas and  measures 59.5” x 90.25” inches and is currently at the Minneapolis Museum of art.

The peculiarity here is that everything is brought to the foreground while the background seems irrelevant. This is to involve the viewer directly with the subject.
