Passion Set: Burial of Christ

Zacharias Dolendo

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a scene depicting the Burial of Christ. The scene shows a cave-like structure in the background with a glowing orb hanging from a tree branch. In the back left, three skulls are visible on a ledge. The body of Christ lies on a stone slab in the center; he is shirtless with a cloth around his lower body. Two women stand behind him on the right; two women kneel on either side of the body. The kneeling woman on the left holds Christ's arm; a small bowl and ewer are on the stone slab in front of her. The woman on the right is lying on the ground with her left arm extended. Two people, both wearing halos, stand on a ledge on the right side. The illustration is surrounded by a thick border, with a thin line separating it from the border. The border has a rough texture, and the image is on a white background.
