This biblical scene, which takes place in a bourgeois apartment, draws on certain conventions of religious painting while disrupting them. While the three women in turn embody Mary Magdalene, bare-breasted, the Virgin at her child’s side, and Mary of Cleophas alongside the bearded man as Joseph of Arimathea, the devil appears in the background, dangling his sinister snake above the coffin. From this temporal and stylistic collage of accessories, outfits, and poses, an inescapable sense of déjà-vu transpires.
