Marken funeral barge, Petrus van der Velden, artist, 1890-1891, Christchurch, Here, a summer funeral party makes its way to a church in the distance. A widow lies face down on top of the coffin, in accordance with local custom. The mood is evocative, the paintwork sketchy and impressionist. In fact, the work may be unfinished.
