The Women at the Sepulchre with Christ of the Noli me Tangere

Ercole Procaccini il Giovane

National Gallery of Art

The image features five figures in various poses, with one central figure elevated above the others. The figures are depicted from the waist up to the upper body, with varying hairstyles and clothing styles. The central figure appears to be in motion with outstretched arms, while the others are standing or kneeling around them. The drawing is done in a classical style with no visible jewelry or objects held by the figures. The background is nondescript, allowing the focus to be on the figures.
