The Entombment

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed etching of a group of people gathered around a bed. A bearded man lies on the bed while various other figures surround him. The figures include an elderly man with a staff, a seated woman with a child, and others in robes. One figure wears a cap-like headpiece. The setting appears to be indoors with cross-hatched background suggesting walls or an arched ceiling. The scene conveys a solemn atmosphere.
