Painting of the dead Christ supported by the Virgin Mary in blue on a red cloth, with a woman in tan clasping her hands beside them and mourners in shadow.

The Lamentation

A painting of the Lamentation shows the dead Christ, bare-chested and wearing a white loincloth, lying across a red cloth as the Virgin Mary, in a blue mantle and dark veil, supports his shoulders. A woman in a tan dress clasps her hands beside them, while other mourners appear in the shadowy background.
