The First Nail (Le premier clou) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The First Nail (Le premier clou), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 13/16 x 12 11/16 in. ( x cm). While Mark devotes just a single verse to the act of crucifixion, Tissot describes the process in exacting detail in four images and his accompanying published commentaries. Following first-century Roman sources, he considers the physical restraints the executioners probably employed to bind Jesus securely to the cross.
