Master of Rabenden

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman and a man. The woman wears a head covering and a long-sleeved garment. She sits and holds the body of the man. He has long hair and no clothing on his upper body. He lies across her lap with his head on the left side and his legs on the right. The woman's left arm supports his back. Her right hand rests on his right arm. The man has wounds on his body. The figures sit on a decorated seat. The sculpture is made from painted wood. The base is flat and rectangular. The background is gray.
