In this lithograph, a man with long hair and a beard stands over another man who is lying down. The standing man has his hands on the other's head, and the two are positioned in front of a graveyard with several crosses visible. The scene is rendered in dark, muted tones. The image conveys a sense of solemnity and reverence, with the standing man appearing to offer some kind of blessing or comfort to the man on the ground. The graveyard in the background adds to the somber atmosphere, suggesting a connection to mortality and the afterlife. This work is part of the National Gallery of Art, Washington collection.
