Three Marys at the Tomb (top); Descent into Hell (bottom)

Two connected scenes on a gold ground. The top panel shows three Marys with halos approaching a pink sarcophagus-tomb set against stylized rocky hills; their robes are red, black and pale, with calm, elongated faces. The bottom panel depicts Christ in a red and blue mantle emerging in a grotto and reaching toward a kneeling, bearded figure as a crowd of saints and clerics watches inside a dark recess, a cross visible in the background. The painting uses linear contours, vivid color blocks, and hieratic staging, hallmarks of Duccio's early 14th-century Siena Gothic style and his preference for decorative, narrative clarity over naturalistic depth.
