Created between 1475 and 1480, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 44.5x32 cm and is housed in the Muzeul National Brukenthal in Sibiu. The composition depicts a grieving father kneeling beside his lifeless son, their hands clasped together in prayer. The father's face reflects both sorrow and devotion as he seeks solace through faith. The open book before them symbolizes religious guidance during times of despair.
