Gangster Funeral
1952–1953

An oil painting depicting a group of solemnly dressed men in a dark, moody room, possibly from the early 20th century. The men, adorned with medals and formal attire, are gathered around a table with a glass dome containing what appears to be a floral arrangement. The atmosphere is somber, with heavy brushstrokes and a muted color palette, suggesting a scene of remembrance or mourning. The stained glass window in the background adds to the historical and possibly religious context of the scene.
