# A Funeral [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HENNINGSEN, Frants Peter Diderik]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 95 x 142 cm ## Commentary The painting depicts a burial among the poor, conducted at the Assistens graveyard in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen. A pregnant woman and her two small children are following their husband/father to his grave. A thoroughly tragic situation that Henningsen has chosen to accentuate with gloomy winter weather, a meagre gathering, and the woman's greyish-white complexion. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
