About this work

This painting shows a group of seven figures gathered around a body lying on a cloth. The figures wear bright robes in orange, blue, and green, with halos around their heads. The background is a flat green with gold stars, and the body at the center looks pale with folded hands. The text at the top is in an old script, and the figures’ faces are simple, almost flat. The scene looks like it’s about a burial. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
