Painting of a nude dead man on a white cloth, held by a young woman, with a bearded man and a veiled woman bending over him and a hillside landscape behind.

The Entombment

A pale, nude male body lies diagonally across a white cloth in the foreground, supported by a kneeling young woman while a bearded older man and a veiled woman in dark blue bend over him. An older woman at right and a hillside landscape under a dusky sky complete the scene, painted in oil.
