The image shows a porcelain sculpture of the Pietà, with the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ after the Crucifixion. Mary, wearing a blue mantle and a dark red dress, is kneeling, her face downcast in sorrow. Jesus' body is depicted as pale and lifeless, with wounds visible. To the right, another figure in a green robe and orange garment stands, their hands clasped. In the foreground, a separate sculpture depicts a pelican feeding its young with its own blood, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice. The sculptures are displayed on a polished dark surface, possibly a museum exhibit, with other porcelain figures visible in the background. A label at the bottom left of the image reads "RICCI, Piedad, 1765". The style of the sculptures suggests they are from the Rococo period. The context of the label with "Piedad" and "Ricci" suggests this sculpture is likely to be the Pietà by Giuseppe Gricci, created around 1765, which is housed in the Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain.
