The image depicts a pencil sketch on brown paper of a dead Christ lying on a surface by a sepulchre. The figure of Christ is lying down with head to the left and feet to the right. Christ is wearing a long robe that covers the body almost entirely. The head is tilted slightly upwards and appears to be leaning on a cloth or pillow. The surface Christ is lying on appears to be draped with fabric. Behind the surface are draped fabrics on either end that could be part of the sepulchre. To the far right, there appears to be a staff standing upright. The background is the brown paper the sketch is drawn on.
