From the Art Institute of Chicago record
Christ sinks, exhausted, to the ground during the forced march to his execution on Calvary. Saint Veronica kneels at the ready with a cloth to wipe his face during this brief respite from carrying his own cross. The resulting contact relic was said to create a kind of print with an impression of Christ’s countenance (also appearing in the title page of the series) that possessed healing powers.
