The Entombment

About this work

This print shows a group of people carrying a body wrapped in cloth. One person holds the feet, another supports the shoulders. A tree stands in the background, and a winged figure hovers nearby. The lines are sharp and dark, with no color—just black and white. The artist used a method where ink is pressed into carved wood to make the image. This was common in the 1500s. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
