The painting uses rich, earthy tones combined with vivid hues in the garments of the mourners to create a powerful visual contrast.The gold leaf technique adds a luminous quality to the halos and highlights throughout the piece, while the delicate, intricate linework and careful attention to anatomical detail reflect Andrea di Bartolo's mastery.
