Description

This print shows three holy women (possibly the three Mary's) at the tomb of Christ finding it empty as Christ has risen. The standing figures wear long robes and head coverings. The one in front of the tomb raises her arms exclaiming that a miracle has occurred. The women stand in a darkening landscape next to the lit opening in the foreground on the right. The blue background has several tall trees shown in silhouette above a rocky landscape on the left.
