The image displays a large, white marble sculpture depicting the Lamentation of Christ, located within the National Museum of Fine Arts (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes) in Santiago, Chile. The sculpture features three figures in a clustered composition. The central subject is a deceased male figure, depicted bare-chested with a loincloth draped across his lower body. He possesses a beard, long hair, and his eyes are closed, indicating lifelessness. This figure represents Jesus Christ. Supporting the central figure are two other individuals. Behind and above Christ is a veiled female figure, identified as Mary, whose face is obscured by the drapery. Her hands are positioned near the chest and arm of the deceased figure. To the lower left, a bearded male figure, identifiable as Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus, supports Christ's lower body, with his head near the central figure's hip. The figures are rendered with detailed anatomical features and flowing drapery. The scene is set indoors, within a museum gallery. The background features light-colored walls, classical architectural moldings, and a dark wooden arched doorway to the left. Overhead artificial lighting is visible, casting a distinct beam of light on the ceiling.
