Brown ink and white highlight drawing of a dead man draped over a ledge, with a veiled woman, kneeling figure, and standing bearded man around him.

Lamentation over the Dead Christ

A pen and brown ink drawing with brush wash and white heightening shows the dead Christ slumped across a stone ledge, his body lit pale against dark foliage. A grieving woman in a veil leans behind him, a kneeling figure supports his arm, and a bearded man stands at right beside a crown of thorns on the ground.

Español: Lamentación sobre el Cristo muerto

Un dibujo a pluma y tinta parda con aguada de pincel y toques de blanco muestra a Cristo muerto recostado sobre una repisa de piedra, con el cuerpo iluminado contra un follaje oscuro. Una mujer velada, inclinada detrás de él, se lamenta; una figura arrodillada sostiene su brazo y un hombre barbado está de pie a la derecha, junto a una corona de espinas en el suelo.

Português: Lamentação sobre o Cristo morto

Um desenho a pena e tinta marrom, com aguada de pincel e realces em branco, mostra Cristo morto, recostado sobre uma base de pedra, com o corpo claro contra uma folhagem escura. Uma mulher velada, inclinada atrás dele, lamenta; uma figura ajoelhada sustenta seu braço, e um homem barbado está de pé à direita, ao lado de uma coroa de espinhos no chão.
