Képleírás
This is a painting of a scene involving a figure lying in a sarcophagus, attended by two other figures. The central figure appears to be resting in a rectangular structure. The structure is painted in a reddish tone and rests on a green base. The two figures nearby have flat, halo-like shapes. The background features simple architectural elements in yellow. The painting shows a stylized and flat representation typical of religious iconography.
