Vesperbild (Pietà)

Master of Grosslobming

Cleveland Museum of Art

The scene depicts a woman sitting and holding a dead man across her lap. The woman wears a head covering that drapes down her back, a blue and orange shawl, and a long dress. The man is shirtless, wearing only a cloth wrapped around his waist. He has short hair. The woman's left arm supports his head and upper back. Her right hand rests on his right thigh. The figures have a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of aging and wear on their surfaces. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
