This painting shows a sculpture of a person lying down, with a red cloth draped over it. The sculpture is in front of a wall with a decorative design. The overall style is dark and moody. The sculpture appears to be a corpse, which is an unusual subject for a still life. The artist's use of dark colors and dramatic lighting adds to the somber mood of the painting.
