Español: Kriemhild sobre el cadáver de Sigfrido

Pintura al óleo de una mujer afligida con vestido claro de estilo clásico y tocado, inclinada sobre el cuerpo inerte de un hombre desnudo tendido sobre una tela roja, ante un fondo oscuro. Su brazo pálido descansa sobre las piernas de él mientras mira hacia abajo, y una espada yace en primer plano entre las sombras.
