In the background, a person is seen to be hanging from a hanging post. On the left-hand side of the image, a woman is waiting for the sad man at the entrance of the house, holding a plate with her right hand and gesturing for him to come inside with her left hand. The woman wears a long dress that reaches the ground, and her hair is short.
