Wooden Coffin and Penitente Santo Entierro (Penitent Saint in Earth)

Eldora P. Lorenzini

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden crib-like structure with intricately turned spindles forming the railings, housing a human figure inside. The color palette consists primarily of various browns and beiges representing the wood, with small areas of pink, white, and flesh tones inside the structure. The crib is positioned centrally in the image, resting on four legs, with the figure inside lying on its back, head towards the right side of the image and feet towards the left, partially covered by a white cloth. A smaller inset at the top left displays a closer view of the structure's side, including additional visual notes and details.
