The painting depicts a group of medieval soldiers mourning the death of their leader. The fallen warrior lies on a red carpet, his body covered with a red cloak. His comrades stand around him, their heads bowed in grief. One of them kneels beside the body, his hand resting on the dead man's chest. In the background, a castle can be seen on a hilltop. The sky is dark and cloudy, adding to the sense of tragedy. The painting is full of emotion, and it captures the moment of grief and loss.
