This 16th-century anonymous etching titled *Entombment* depicts the burial of a body surrounded by mourners. The artwork's composition focuses on the central figure, whose anatomy is rendered with detailed hatching, while the surrounding figures are less defined. This creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the emotional impact of the scene. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this intricate etching, which is a testament to the anonymous artist's skill and the power of Renaissance art.
