Death of the Queen

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several figures in a room. Some figures are kneeling or standing around a bed. The figures wear long robes and some have hoods or collars. One figure lies in the bed, covered by a blanket and holding a large cross. The figures around the bed appear to be praying or keeping vigil. Above them, there are cherub-like figures in the cloud formation. The room is decorated with curtains, a hanging lantern, and a table with a pitcher on it.
