About this work

The painting shows a dying king lying on a white-draped bed beneath a dark curtain, while a woman in a yellow gown and white veil sits beside him and a standing figure in an ochre robe gazes forward. Robed attendants crowd the left and right edges, and a pale sea and sky appear beyond the open tent.
