Painting that bears a wooden frame. Depicted a woman who has put her dead son on her knees. The woman carries a black long garment and a white headscarf. Her facial expression shows feelings of anguish and pain. The young man wears short trousers and a white shirt, open to the chest and revealing wounds on the sternum. The composition of the project is strongly reminiscent of the characteristic attitude of Pieta in the project "Pieta " of Michelangelo, in which the Virgin Mary holds the dead body of Jesus Christ in her arms . In the bottom right of the painting you can find the signature of the artist and the date 2005.
