The throngs of people crowd into the centre, towards Christ, who is betrayed by Judas' kiss. With the force of his body Judas presses against Christ, who appears to disappear beneath the traitor's cloak. This expresses the inevitable outcome of this overwhelming confrontation.

The whole drama of the event is captured in this infinitely long exchange of glances.
