The image shows a group of people focused on a central figure being carried on a stretcher. Two men dressed in work clothing, including jackets and headlamps, carry the stretcher. The man closest to the viewer has a stern face and wears a hat with a lamp on the front. The person on the stretcher has a peaceful expression with their eyes closed and head resting back, covered in a cloth. Several individuals around them, also in work gear, are partly seen. To the right, one figure is visible with a hand over their mouth. The surroundings are dark and shaded, creating a somber atmosphere.
