The Lamentation

A painted Lamentation shows the dead Christ, crowned with thorns, his pale body lying across the lower foreground. Around him a grieving woman in a dark veil and white wimple bends forward, while a young man, an older man in red holding pincers, and a woman in a headdress look on against a dark background.
