Della simmetria dei corpi humani, libri quattro / di Alberto Durero ... ; Nuouamente tradotti dalla lingua latina nella italiana da M. Gio. Paolo Gallucci Salodiano. Et accresciuti del quinto libro, nel quale si tratta, con quai modi possano i pittori e scoltori mostrare la diuersità della natura degli huomini, et donne, et con quali le passioni, che sentono per li diuersi accidenti, che li occorrono. Hora di nuouo stampati.

Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus drag Christ's body towards a tomb. The four women are Mary Magdalene, Mary (mother of James the less and Joses), Salome ("who ..., when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him") and the Virgin. One of the women (probably Mary Magdalene) stares ahead into Christ's lance wound while she holds Christ's pierced hand in hers. In the distance on the right stands an empty cross and a ladder; to the left one of the crucified criminals still hangs there
