The three Maries at the tomb of Jesus Christ is a 1850 by Gaetano Vascellini, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image depicts a print of four women in a landscape, with one woman standing and three others kneeling. The women are dressed in robes and headscarves, and the standing woman appears to be looking down at the others. In the background, there are trees, hills, and a body of water with boats. The women seem to be gathered around something on the ground, but it's not clear what it is. The standing woman's gaze suggests that she's looking at something specific, but the details are not visible. This print is reminiscent of works by artists who use chiaroscuro to create dramatic lighting effects.
