This painting shows a group of six figures gathered around a central person lying on a cloth-covered surface. The figures wear long robes in red, blue, and green, with golden halos around their heads. The background is a dark blue sky with white stars and red drapes. One figure holds a cross, and another has a cloth with an image on it. The central figure’s body is partly visible, with a pale face and exposed ribs, suggesting a moment of vulnerability. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to show depth. Look up *cross-hatching* next to see how artists create texture with lines.
