Requiescat is an oil on canvas painting by British artist Briton Rivière completed in 1888.[1] The painting depicts an armored medieval knight lying atop a bed with a blue floral sheet. A dog (often identified as a bloodhound) sits besides the bed while observantly looking towards the face of the knight on whom a wreath placed, indicating death.[2] The expression of the dog is potentially explained by the title of the painting, Requiescat, meaning "a prayer for the repose of a dead person".[3]
