<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2273894, member: 5833"]I couldn't put this together to make a scene I recognize, either historical or fictional. The imprisoned person (man, I think, based on shirt sleeve) is blessing/forgiving the kneeling man, who has removed his hat & has a badge on his cloak that probably indicates his status in society. Presumably he played a role in the imprisonment & upcoming execution. The young man is weeping on the shoulder of the old man, who has a guard/soldier behind him. The details of the man with a hat in the foreground are obscured. Is he carrying a lantern in his right hand? The old man's attention seems to be on this figure, not on the central action.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the old man carrying a book? Is the kneeling man balding, tonsured or wearing a skull cap?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
