Burial in Brittany (L'Enterrement en Bretagne)

Charles Cottet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a room with several individuals wearing hooded cloaks. They are seated around tables, with one main figure in the foreground. Their faces are shadowed by the hoods, but one individual's face is partially visible beneath the hood. The figures appear somber and contemplative. The background is indistinct with shadows, giving a sense of a somber, enclosed indoor setting.
