The scene is set against a backdrop of bare trees and a gray sky. The artist has used muted colors to convey a sense of mourning and melancholy. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of drama and emotion. The composition is simple, yet effective, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the coffin.
