About this work

A dramatic interior scene shows a wounded nobleman in a brown embroidered doublet and blue sash being supported by companions while a body lies draped on the tiled floor. Armored guards and richly dressed courtiers in ruffs react around him, with two small dogs on the carpet and a hat and paper on a table.
