Death of the Virgin

The painting depicts a group of people gathered around a bed. A woman in a blue dress and white head covering lies on the bed, surrounded by 10 other people. The people around the bed are dressed in robes and some wear halos. One man in a white robe and a crown-like object on his head sits at the center of the bed. A man and a woman sit at the foot of the bed, with the woman on the right reading a book. A blue and gold patterned cloth covers the bed. Above the group, a man sits on clouds against a blue background, with his hand to his chest and a book in the other hand. The background of the painting is gold with etched designs.
