Eleuterio Pagliano

National Gallery of Art

This is an interior scene featuring a draped body on a bier. The setting includes plain walls, a closed door in the background, and a cross hanging on the wall to the left. The body is covered with a sheet on a table-like structure. Objects in the room include bottles on the floor. Figures stand to the right, observing the body. The text "ROMA - 1849" is inscribed at the top, and "IL CORPO DI LUCIANO MANARA VISITATO DAI SOLDATI" is written at the bottom. The composition shows fine lines depicting textures and shadows, typical of etching.
