Deposition of the Tears

Description

Three figures support the pale body of Christ, seated close together against a dark ground. A woman in red leans in from the left, while another figure in blue steadies the body from the right. Their heads and hands gather near the center. The composition is vertical and tightly cropped around the grieving group.

About Deposition of the Tears Reproduction

Red, blue, cream and dark brown define the garments and background. The pale body contrasts with the saturated robes. Light falls across faces and arms, while the surrounding field remains nearly black. The cloth draped over the body creates a broad pale curve through the center.

The bowed heads of the figures and supporting hands form a compact, connected group. The pale body establishes a horizontal core within the vertical arrangement. Strong color blocks and close framing intensify the solemn concentration of the scene. The pale body is supported by two figures whose arms meet beneath the shoulders and legs. A woman in red leans in from the left while another in blue bends from the right. Their close grouping contrasts with the dark stone background. The three faces form a close triangle above the body. The blue mantle folds across the arm of the right figure. The folded hands gather below the central body.
