The Entombment by Rembrandt van Rijn shows a dimly lit scene with a group of people gathered around a body lying on a low platform or table, in a large cave-like space. The body is positioned horizontally with the head towards the right side. A man stands at the head of the body with his hands clasped in front of him. Several other figures are around the body, some sitting and some standing. The figures are dressed in robes and some have beards. The background has a large archway and appears to be a cave or rocky space. The image is in black and white with very dark shading throughout.
