The focus of this picture is a man lying flat on his back on a sheet in a tomb.
The viewer sees his right side.
He has a slit on the of his chest like a stab wound.
The man has long hair that runs down into a beard.
He has a cloth round his waste, but the rest of him is naked.
His mouth is open and he looks scared and his face is slightly green.
He has very long legs, take up about half the tomb.
The form of this picture is strange because it is very wide and not very tall, the width is about six times the height of the picture.
The colours that the artist has chosen to make it a sad scene. The colours are ivory yellow, greens, black and also a little white.
The mood of the picture is very sad like mourning of a death.
