The Lamentation of the Virgin

Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a landscape with two figures. One figure is lying on a slab, while the other figure is standing and looking down at them. The standing figure is draped in robes and has a halo-like aura around their head. The background shows hills, trees, and a town. The drawing is detailed, with line work and shading emphasizing the figures and surroundings. Soft tones are used, giving the piece a timeless quality.
