Christ Carried to the Tomb is a 1810 ink by François-Xavier Fabre, a Romanticism work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people carrying Jesus to his tomb. The scene is somber and quiet. It's interesting that the artist used a mix of etching and aquatint to create the image - aquatint is a technique that adds tone to an etching, giving it a softer look. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: aquatint.
