You see a room full of men in dark robes standing around a bed where a woman lies still, her face pale and hands folded. Someone later cut this painting down and added strips at the top and bottom to make it fit a fancy frame. The new parts were painted to match the old, yellowed look, but they don’t quite blend in anymore. Look up paintings of *italy, venice* to see more works from the same place and time.
