A horizontally oriented print in black ink on light paper, shaded with heavy cross-hatching, depicts a blindfolded man in white tied to a stake. From the right edge, rifle barrels point toward him. In the foreground, a body lies face down. Behind the central figure and to the left, more people are tied to posts against a dark background. Handwritten text appears in the wide margins of the paper.
