Long description

This is a black and white drawing of a dramatic scene in a domestic interior. Clinging to the mantel shelf on the right is a dishevelled-looking man; an official in an overcoat and top hat grasps him by the shoulder. A woman’s body lies on the floor in the left foreground, half concealed by a kneeling female figure in front of her. In the left background, women cluster in a doorway, evidently shocked by the scene.
