About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a man's body. She's wearing a blue robe and a white head covering, and she's sitting on a rock. The man is lying on his back, and he's wearing a white cloth around his waist. There's a red cloth on the ground next to him. The woman is looking down at the man with a sad expression. The man's body is limp, and his eyes are closed. There's a small wound on his side. The background of the painting is a dark, cloudy sky. This painting is held at the Walters Art Museum.
