In the painting, a group of women and a man stand in front of a tomb, their faces filled with grief and concern. The women are dressed in long robes, with one wearing a green dress and a white head covering, while the others wear red and blue. The man, standing to the left, is barefoot and wears a red robe. The background of the painting features a rocky landscape with trees and a city in the distance. The sky above is yellow, suggesting either sunrise or sunset.
