Jean-Paul Laurens, “A Funeral” from c. mid-1870s-early 1880s. Laurens had a macabre streak and was known as “the painter of the dead”, though his online representation today suggests colour paintings rather than shadowy etchings similar to this one. This is my 3,800-pixel rip of a picture now in the public domain under CC0, but which was also locked inside a ‘zoomify’ viewing system. So feel free to use it as a book cover or as the basis of a new paint-over using Photoshop or Krita etc.
