Description: | image: To the left of the composition, a bedridden septuagenarian lies propped up upon a large pillow, his wrists tied and
resting on the coverlet. He has died from forced starvation. At the foot of the bed, leaning on the wooden bedstead, stands a German
officer, his back toward the view, but face in profile, shouting at the corpse. Officer in regulation dress, a sword at his left side, a
monocle in his left eye. Above the bead head, a crucifix is attached to the wall, a small stoup beneath. |
