About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a man's body. The man is covered with a white cloth. He has a wound on his side. The woman is dressed in black and red. Above them, an angel is depicted in gold and red. The angel has wings and is holding a staff. The background of the painting is gold, with a cross in the middle. The overall mood of the painting is somber and reverent. The painting appears to be a depiction of a religious scene, possibly the Pieta. The use of gold and red colors gives the painting a sense of luxury and importance. The angel above the figures adds a sense of divine presence. The painting is held at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
