About this work

This painting shows a group of men in colorful robes gathered around a man lying on a table. The men are dressed in red, yellow, and white robes, and some of them are wearing hats. They seem to be discussing something, with one man pointing at the man on the table. The man on the table is wearing dark clothing and has his hands clasped together. The scene appears to be set in a room with a brown floor and a dark background. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Ireland.
