Lamentation for Christ

Hans Baldung Grien

National Gallery of Art

The image shows figures surrounding an emaciated figure lying across the foreground. One figure is cradling the lifeless entity, while others are standing around. One of the figures has a subtle halo. The background shows detailed trees, hills, and a village. The drawing is detailed with linework and cross-hatching.
