Study for "Come Rest in this Bosom my own Stricken Dear"

Augustus Leopold Egg

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown painting of a woman embracing a man from behind. The woman wears a long dark dress. The man wears a hat, a shirt with billowy sleeves and loose-fitting pants. The woman's right arm encircles the man's waist and her hand rests near his right shoulder. Her left hand rests on his right forearm. Their heads are tilted to the left. A table with objects on top is on the left. A window with a grid of small panes is on the right. The room appears dimly lit.
