Item description from the inventory book:
In the center of the image a young woman sits with her face covered by her hands. Over her light dress a large checked scarf is thrown. Beside her, lips pressed together sternly, a man stands in a quilted jacket and ground cloth; slightly to the right a young man in a cap holds open a ground cloth, as if shielding from the viewer a couch with the body of the slain. To the left, a man in a quilted jacket, felt boots and a ground cloth has removed his hat and bowed his head low.
