Painting of Christ's body laid on a white shroud, surrounded by mourning figures in red and dark robes beside a rocky cave.

Graflegging

A painted scene of Christ's body being lowered onto a white shroud, with mourners gathered around him in dark, rocky surroundings. Bearded men in red and turban-like headwear support the body while a woman in a white veil bends forward, and women in dark robes stand at the upper right. Rich reds and warm flesh tones contrast with the shadowed background.

Español: El entierro de Cristo

Escena pintada en la que el cuerpo de Cristo es depositado sobre una sábana blanca, rodeado de dolientes en un entorno oscuro y rocoso. Hombres barbados con ropas rojas y tocados sostienen el cuerpo, mientras una mujer con velo blanco se inclina hacia adelante y otras mujeres de vestidos oscuros aparecen arriba a la derecha. Los rojos intensos y los tonos cálidos de la piel contrastan con el fondo sombrío.
