Visual Summary

Brief Description

A seated woman, a nude child, a blade, and multiple figures in a dark composition.

Detailed Description

A dark composition features multiple figures rendered in a muted palette of browns, grays, and deep shadows. In the center-left foreground, a large, pale-skinned woman is seated, facing right. She has a prominent nose and chin, and long, dark, unkempt hair that blends into a shaggy, dark cloak covering her shoulders and back. She wears a white garment and a red sash. Her left arm is bent, with her hand resting near the head of a nude, pale-skinned child lying on a white cloth directly in front of her. The child has reddish-brown hair and appears lifeless, with a visible wound on its chest. To the right of the child, a disembodied hand emerges from the bottom right corner, holding a long, sharp, silver blade pointed upwards towards the child. Below this hand, other indistinct limbs or figures are visible in the shadows. In the midground, to the right, two figures are partially visible. One, on the left, has horns or a horned helmet and wears a light-colored cloak, extending its arms. The other, further right, is darker and appears to be on horseback or a beast, holding a weapon. In the upper-center background, a luminous figure, possibly an angel or spirit, floats in a beam of light. To the right of this light, dark, shadowy figures on horseback or monstrous creatures are visible in the gloom.
