An interesting image. When I search for it via Google,
I get 'best suggestion: female crucifixion Roman style'
with links back to - guess where - CruxForums (Barbaria's Roman crucifixion
)
The image itself turns up in a few places on the net, some best avoided - malware warnings -
but also the excellent 'Shadows in Eden' blogspot of Hawkwood,
with intelligent articles on the 'dark' side of art:
http://shadowsineden.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/behold-this-woman.html.
The titulus bothers me a little, the Latin seems to mean 'behold here (is?) a woman',
I wonder if the artist intended ECCE HAEC MVLIER 'behold this woman'
(which is how Hawkwood (mis)translates it)?
The Greek translates as 'behold the woman herself'.
I can't read/ translate the Hebrew or Arabic, maybe someone else can.

She appears to have some attitude.

I'm pretty sure the image (and the website) have been discussed here before, unless I'm thinking of the Foundation? You mention Hawkwood yourself Eul, over here

It's a beautiful piece - clothed, yet with enough flesh showing to titillate. The crucified woman, suffering a wardrobe malfunction, condemned to hang exposed and helpless on her cross, bare to the wind and to the crows.
It makes me think of the woman in Latro's story The Punic Cross
http://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/the-punic-cross.3657/
"But the gull had detached the great jewel that held up Sarai's royal robe. Unsupported, it slid down her body, revealing her splendid breasts, their dark nipples tensing with every flexion of her arms."
It would make a nice conversation piece for the dining table too
Here's a very different "behold the woman" pic. I'm surprised the theme is not more common.

Eulalia, what is missing here is in my opinion a comma (but English isn't my native language). The text below widely justifies it.
BEHOLD THIS, WOMAN
"As a woman, you should dress plainly and modestly. You should not braid your hair. You should not wear jewellery, and certainly not costly gold and pearls. You should remain silent, and learn submissively. You are not allowed to teach, neither must you question nor rise above the authority of a man. And do not forget: you must keep silent. Why must you do these things? Because it was Adam who was created first, and because it was Eve who was deceived by the serpent and transgressed."

Where did this quote come from please, because it coincides with the philosophy of the culture in my ongoing story SATS?
