The Entombment

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people around a bed. One person is lying on the bed, partially covered with a sheet, with their face sketched with closed eyes. Other individuals around the bed are looking towards the person. Their faces are mostly shadowed, wearing robes or draped clothing. One person is seated and seems to embrace a child, while another figure stands slightly bent with hands clasped. The scene is in a dimly lit space with minimal visible background details.
