Image description: Formerly attributed to Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) and to Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). A sick man lies dying in his bed surrounded by his wife and child, as well as three men in secular dress. The men discuss a stack of papers, the dying mans last will and testament, next to which is an inkpot ready for the mans signature. By the dying mans head stands an angel pointing heaven-ward, or perhaps to the religious images framed on the rear wall. "Antonio Pereda y Salgado, Attributed to (1611 - 1678)
