The Virgin Mary stands nearby, her grief evident as she gazes at her Son with compassion and heartbreak.
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who provided the tomb and spices for Jesus' burial, are shown reverently attending to His body, highlighting their act of faith and courage. The vibrant background of starry blue and lush greenery reflects the promise of hope amid sorrow. The intricate details of the robes, floral patterns, and expressions bring depth and emotion to this sacred moment, reminding viewers of the sacrifice and love central to the Christian faith.
