Chronicles of France: The Children of Clodomir

Eugène François Marie Joseph Devéria

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a woman lying on a low platform surrounded by people. The woman is wearing a long white dress and has dark hair. She is lying on her back with her head slightly elevated and her eyes closed. To her right is a man kneeling on one knee wearing a long dark robe. The man wears a tall mitre on his head and holds a crucifix. Behind him are several people standing and sitting around the woman. One person holds a lit candle on a tall candlestick. The people wear medieval-style clothing, including robes and dresses. The scene appears to be taking place indoors with drapery visible in the background. The overall atmosphere of the image appears somber and mournful. There is text at the top and bottom of the image.
