About this work

The Death of Seneca, painted by Noël Hallé in 1750, shows a bare-chested man reclining on a white-sheeted bed beneath dark red drapery. Around him, a kneeling figure bows his head, a bearded older man clasps his hands, a figure wipes away tears, and two women in green and gold robes gesture in grief at the foot of the bed. The painting is held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
