A vertically oriented woodcut in dense black-inked fine lines depicts the Lamentation. Christ, a man with light skin tone, lies slumped across the foreground. On the left, a woman with light skin tone kneels and holds his arm. To the right, a man with light skin tone supports Christ's torso. A wooden post stands on the far right. The background features craggy hills, small figures, and billowy clouds in a lined sky.
