The woman is dressed in a white gown with a pink sash, and her head is covered with a white cloth. The men are gathered around her, some with their hands clasped together in prayer. In the background, there is a large red curtain draped over a canopy, and a statue of the Virgin Mary is visible above the bed. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of mourning and reverence. This painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
