Procession in the Sepulchre of Saint Medard(Procession dans le caveaux de St.-Medard)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a group of people engaged in a processional activity. The figures are shown from the shoulders down, walking from left to right. They are dressed in heavy clothing with bonnets or headscarves covering their hair. Some are holding candles or objects. The background shows a gate on the left and a religious icon in the middle. The inscription at the bottom reads "CAVEAU ST MEDARD PROCESSION."
