The compact composition accentuates the lifeless body of Christ cradled by the Virgin, who turns her imploring gaze to heaven. A crying angel appears in the background behind Christ. This delicately crafted work is marked by the complicated torsion of its figures, which adds considerable pathos and reflects the artist’s debt to Giulio Cescare Procaccini (1574-1625), although without the latter’s emotional ambiguity.
