Burying the Dead is a 1654 ink by Conrad Meyer, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three people in a forest. One man lies on the ground, covered by a cloth. Another man sits beside him, holding his hand. A woman kneels nearby, looking down. Rocks and trees fill the background. The scene looks quiet and sad. The artist used lines to show every fold in the cloth and every leaf on the trees.
