Wilton album, folio 21a: The Lamentation over the Dead Christ, or The Entombment; Christ's body, on the right, reclining on a tomb, the Virgin swooning on the left
On folio 21 with one other print: 27.78.1(102)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428)
This is one of three versions of this subject executed by Schiavone, all of them related to Parmigianino's renowned etching of the Entombment (B. XVI.8.5; 27.78.2(291)). Of the three versions this is the closest to the Parmigianino model. An impression of an extensively reworked state (probably the third), after elements of the design, the outlines of the figures and the shading were substantially modified, seemingly in drypoint. For an impression of the first state see 26.70.3(96), while for an impression of the second state see 27.78.2(67) (Mariette Album, folio 23)
