The image shows a man walking across a flooded floor. He is bent over slightly, holding a wicker basket in front of him with both hands. In his left hand, he holds a lit candle. He has a long nose, wide eyes, light-colored short hair, and wears a dark coat. His feet are half submerged in the water on the wooden floor. Water is leaking through the stone walls and ceiling in the background.
