About the piece
Created in 1893 by Belgian artist Pieter Van der Ouderaa, this painting is a masterful example of late 19th-century realism. The work depicts the Holy Women returning from the tomb of Christ, focusing on their varied expressions of grief and the intricate details of their historical attire against a backdrop of ancient masonry, characteristic of the Antwerp school.
