The Entombment

Andrea Schiavone

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Entombment by Andrea Schiavone. Black and white drawing of a group of people gathered around a central figure. The central figure is a shirtless man with curly hair who is being lowered into a tomb. He is surrounded by a group of approximately 10 other men and women. Some of the figures are dressed in robes, while others wear shirts and head coverings. In the background, there is a rocky cliff with a tree and a few flowers. The drawing features a range of shading and texture, with some areas being more detailed than others. The image is framed by a thin black border, and it appears to be printed on a piece of paper with a light gray background. The scene depicts a somber and mournful atmosphere. The overall style of the drawing suggests it was created in the Renaissance period.
