From a group of the lamentation of the dead Christ

This work by Italian artist Guido Mazzoni (Modena 1450 c. - 1518) depicts the torso of a man, a fragment which might have been part of an overall figure used in a group scene. Mazzoni produced various religious sculptural groups in his lifetime, most well known for his Adoration of the Shepherds in Modena Cathedral, as well as his Compiantos (deposition and lamentation over the dead Christ), the latter of which this work might have been intended.
