Brief Description
Two men, one injured, in a dark wooded landscape with a donkey, dog, and other figures
Detailed Description
A dark, wooded landscape is depicted, dominated by earthy tones of brown, green, and ochre. In the foreground, two men are central. On the left, a man lies mostly nude on his back, his head wrapped in a white cloth, and a white cloth partially covering his lower body. His skin appears pale. To his right, another man with a bald head and a beard kneels, wearing a reddish-brown tunic. He holds a white cloth, appearing to tend to the leg of the man on the ground. A sword in a scabbard is visible near his hip. Between the two men on the ground are a small, lidded pot and a glass bottle. To the right, a man in a green vest and hat stands, holding the reins of a dark-colored donkey. A white and brown spotted dog stands in front of the donkey, looking upwards. The background on the left and center is filled with dense, dark trees. In the far left background, several small figures are visible among the trees. On the right, a path or road winds into the distance, with a small figure walking. Hills and a lighter, cloudy sky are visible in the upper right, with several small, dark birds flying.
