About this work

This drawing shows a crowded scene with people gathered around a tomb. One man is climbing out, half-naked, while others watch or reach toward him. Trees and a distant building sit in the background, and some figures stand on a bridge. The artist used shading to make clothes and faces look three-dimensional. The tomb is open, and the man rising looks surprised. Look up Renaissance next to see how this style shaped art.
