The image shows a religious display within a glass case, depicting a scene of Jesus Christ laid out in death and a statue of a grieving woman, presumably the Virgin Mary. The deceased figure of Jesus is lying on his back on a dark blue cloth, with his head to the left and his feet to the right. He appears to be nude, with visible wounds on his feet and hands. A white cloth is draped over his lower body. Above and behind Jesus, a statue of a woman stands cloaked in a purple veil adorned with intricate lace. She wears a crown or headdress. The display is housed in a white-framed glass enclosure with silver hardware. In the foreground, below the display case, sits a light blue vase containing a bouquet of light blue artificial roses. The background within the enclosure is a pale wall with decorative moldings and trim, suggesting an ecclesiastical or memorial setting. This display is located in the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói (MAC), a modern art museum in Niterói, Brazil, designed by Oscar Niemeyer.
