Happiness is always incomplete!, 1892. The scene is a humble abode where a priest has just administered the last rites. A body lies in the bed, a candle lighting an image of the Virgin. A figure in military uniform weeps in the lap of an older woman who dabs her eyes with a handkerchief - they are possibly the son and widow of the dead man. Neighbours watch from the door.
