About this work
This Lamentation reflects the tempered classicist style of its pendant with the discovery of the corpses of the two duellists. Dressed in a fantasy Roman-medieval costume, the grieving Colma stands out in a dramatic pose against the dark vegetation. The fairly two-dimensional composition is reminiscent of sculpted friezes and vase paintings from antiquity.
