Description:

Double page opening: the open tomb of Jesus. Three women, tall figures with caskets. On the right an angel is seated: behind him the domed sepulchre, with open door showing purple ground and linen cloth in air, twisted up. Below him are three soldiers with spears, sleeping on their red-lined shields. Trees all along the bottom of the picture.
