From the back of the card:
"Christ Borne to the Tomb"
Original painting by Ciseri, the celebrated Italian artist, hangs in the Gallery at Locarno.
A deeply religious subject, beautiful in conception and compost ion, drawing and coloring. Each figure is worthy of study, each expressing a different shade of emotion appropriate to the character.
