Description: | Outdoor scene, showing a cart load of dramatically illuminated corpses in the process of being tipped into a deep pit; this procedure is overseen by three male figures who stand to the far side of the cart. A spade is dug into the earth to the right of the pit suggesting it is freshly dug. Three figures stand to the left of the cart, one of whom holds a torch.
