Oil on canvas painting of an execution scene. Depicted in the foreground is a nude, dark-skinned male figure with hands tied behind his back, a white sack over his head, and a rope around his neck. He is seated in a garrotte-style execution device. Behind him a shirtless man stands with both hands twisting a wooden stick, tightening the ligature around the victim's neck. Three male figures in the background watch the scene. A wooden fence is visible in the background.
