A medium shot features Michelangelo's Pietà sculpture, depicting Mary holding Jesus, made of white marble

A medium shot features Michelangelo's Pietà sculpture, depicting Mary holding Jesus, made of white marble. Mary, clad in flowing robes, sits with a sorrowful expression, cradling Jesus' body across her lap. Jesus' head is tilted back, his left arm draped across Mary's leg, and his right arm hangs beside his body. His body shows visible wounds on his right side and feet. The sculpture rests on a multi-tiered base, the lowest layer being a reddish-brown marble with white veins, and the top layer a plain white marble. A reddish-brown, patterned wall is visible behind the sculpture, and a small, blue-tinted window is visible in the top background.
