Figure descriptions
A woman and a young boy stand in the doorway of a house. The door is open. The woman
is turned, facing into the house, while
she leans against the door frame. The boy stands inside and looks outdoors. In the
background, soldiers walk past the house. One
soldier stops at the doorway, turns, and looks inside. He holds a sword with one hand
and touches his moustache with the other.
