The image is a photograph of an oil painting depicting a winter execution scene. A prominent wooden gallows, slightly left of the center, features a hanging noose and a wooden ladder leaning against its left post. The ground is covered in snow, and distant snow-covered hills are visible under a dark, overcast sky. Approximately ten figures are gathered near the gallows. To the left, a dark horse is partially visible, facing left, with a figure on its back, adjacent to a dark barrel or pot. Below the gallows, a group of men in dark coats and hats, some resembling Ottoman officials or soldiers, are clustered. One man in a black coat and cap appears to be conversing with another figure in the center. To the right of the gallows, more figures, some in similar attire, observe the scene. In the immediate foreground on the right, a large figure stands with their back to the viewer, wearing a long greenish-grey coat and a light-colored head covering. In the far background, a reddish-brown, multi-story building with a distinct dome, characteristic of an Eastern Orthodox church or monastery, stands against the snowy landscape. A scattered crowd of smaller figures is visible between the gallows group and the distant church. The overall scene conveys a somber, historical atmosphere. This depiction of a public execution during the Ottoman era is plausibly set in a historical public square of Plovdiv, such as what is now Dzhumaya Square.
