About this work

This painting shows three standing figures in bright red robes with gold halos. Below them, a long, pale body lies wrapped in cloth, arms crossed over the chest. The background has a blue sky with red flowers and a building with a cross on top. The figures look calm, with simple faces and folded hands. The cross on the building and the wrapped body suggest this scene is about a burial. The figures might be mourners or witnesses, standing over the body in a quiet moment. Look up cross next to see how it’s used in religious art.
