About this work
In a field with animals, a woman lies with a dead man half over her; a man stands half over the woman and sprinkles her from a bottle; a woman holds up a large black cloth; and behind the hills, a half-figure is visible; a Persian text in four columns runs above and below the composition. The composition is framed by a broad faded ivory sheet edge and lies toward the right side of the sheet.
