A painting depicting three figures in the foreground with a somber mood; two are embracing a sleeping or deceased figure on a red bed, while the third looks on with a pensive expression. In the background, a group of seven seated figures in a monochrome room appear to be in a meeting, disconnected from the emotional scene in the foreground. The artwork is signed "TOOKER" at the bottom left.
