The actress playing the role of the princess is lying on the ground from right to left, her hair scattered. The one who plays the next is kneeling next to her, her head in her hands. On the right in the background, an actor, seen from behind, holding in his hand the dagger with which he struck the princess. Middle ages costumes. In the back of the room filled with spectators.
