And in its Marriage Robe the Heavy Body Wound 1885

"And in its Marriage Robe the Heavy Body Wound" (1885) by Will Hicock Low depicts a single, draped figure lying prone. This striking and melancholic piece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, utilizes a highly detailed, almost photographic style. The figure's pose, combined with the somber tone and the presence of a sculpted head at the top of the composition, likely references the biblical story of Christ's death. The piece invites contemplation on themes of mortality and the passage of time.
