Description
A close-up horizontal photograph providing a detailed look at the rightmost section of the Fourteenth Station of the Cross stained glass transom panel.
The image features:
* Primary Figures & Action: Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus bend forward in profile to carefully support the body of Christ as they approach the tomb entrance. On the far right, Mary stands in deep grief, wearing an orange cloak over black garments with her hands clasped in prayer.
* Interior Tomb Detail: The entrance to the sepulcher is carved into a green and brown rock face, opening into a dark purple-tinted chamber that holds a simple white burial slab.
* Artistic Line-Work & Glass Selection: Detailed black glass paint outlines facial expressions, hair, feet, and drapery folds. The background utilizes a striking palette of emerald green, seafoam, bright yellow, and rich violet glass sections linked by lead cames.
* Preservation & Condition Record: The close framing documents fine surface details, lead joint stability, and minor dust accumulation along the lower frame ledge, recording the panel's physical state during decommissioning.
