The image shows a group of soldiers, one of them stabbing a fallen man in the leg. The violent scene is captured in stark detail, with dark, haunting lines and a sense of immediacy. The artwork exposes the atrocities of war, prompting viewers to contemplate the horrors of violence and its impact on humanity.
