Dark painting of a pale body being lowered in a dim cave, lit by a strong light, with robed mourners gathered around the stone slab.

The Entombment of Christ

A dim cave interior is lit by a single warm light falling on a pale, limp body laid across a stone slab. Several robed figures lean in to lift and support the cloth, while others stand in shadow and a bearded figure kneels at the right edge.
