This scene shows a group of people in a rugged, rocky landscape. A bearded man in the center holds a spear, facing a woman with her arm raised. Behind them, two smaller figures sit or crouch, while others stand in the background. The sky is faint but visible, with mountains far off. The artist used bold lines and shading to show movement and emotion. The figures look like they’re from a story, not real life.
