Additional description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Intended for private devotion, this painting depicts the lamentation over Christ's dead body in terms conducive to empathetic contemplation. The figures of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus lifting Christ’s dead body would have stood out, as they are dressed in contemporary attire, reflecting the viewer's own world. Mary’s limp pose is meant to suggest her co-suffering with her son and affirms her role as co-redeemer. The painting may have been exported to Italy, since it inspired a marble relief by Antonello Gagini in Palermo Cathedral, Sicily.
