Abstract:
Color portrait of the Queen Elena of Italy dressed in a Red Cross nurse's uniform standing in a field. Behind her is an overturned horse cart, with the horse lying on the ground either dead or wounded. Next to it lies a wounded man, shirtless, his head and arm bandaged, being gently supported from behind by a woman in a dark red dress. In the distance, against a setting sun, are two small figures carrying guns, walking away.
