Mourning their Loss by Carl Wilhelm Hubner, is a heart wrenching, poignant painting of an elderly couple sitting by the grave site of, perhaps, their child. The wife leans on the husband who somehow manages to support her through his own grief. He leans on a cane, with his Bible nearby.
In the lower right corner, Queen Anne's lace blooms next to an old stone cross, reminding us that this scene has been repeated day after day, all around the world since the beginning of time. Juxtaposed with the timeless picture of the old grave marker is the light that comes from the upper left part of the painting, sending hope that reflects off the water--both a symbol of rebirth.
Perhaps it is God waiting for the day, sometime in the near future, when the old couple will join their child in the next life.
