This print shows a group of people carrying a wooden coffin with a cross on top. The crowd is dressed in old-fashioned clothes—some in heavy coats, others in white headscarves or robes. One man holds a staff, and another carries a small cross. The background looks like an open field with a pale sky. Notice how the artist used dark and light tones to make faces and clothes stand out. The mood feels serious, like a quiet moment in a village. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
