The painting shows three people kneeling over Jesus' body. They're crying and look very sad. The scene is from a bigger project, the Saint Anne Altarpiece, which had 10 panels. This project was made to be sent to Spain. It was a big job for Gerard David and his workshop. They had to make all the panels fit together. You can see more work like this by learning about the technique of glazing.
