Leonaert Bramer depicted the tragic story of Pyramus and Thisbe on at least twelve occasions. Here he represents an episode not included in the story, in Ovid's Metamorphoses (IV: 55-166); this is the moment when the deceased bodies of the ill-fated lovers are discovered by their parents. Bramer illustrates the same scene in a similar manner, on copper, in a version now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no. RF 1989 7).
