Lamentation is a 1637 unspecified by Govert Flinck, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Museum of Western Art.
In this painting, a group of people are gathered around a body lying on the ground, covered by a white cloth. The body is positioned on its back, with the head tilted to the right. A woman in a red dress is kneeling beside the body, while another woman in a green dress is lying on the ground, possibly mourning. The background is dark, with a few trees and a cloudy sky visible. The scene is somber, with the people in the group looking down at the body with sadness and concern. The woman in red is reaching out to touch the body, while the woman in green is covering her face with her hands. The overall mood of the painting is one of grief and mourning. This painting is held at the National Museum of Western Art.
