The picture depicts a dramatic scene in a winter landscape. A soldier in uniform holds an unconscious, scantily clad civilian woman in his arms, who has apparently been rescued from the icy water. Her head is tilted back and her eyes are closed. The soldier bends over her as if to comfort her or check whether she is still alive. A snow-covered forest can be seen in the background, with bare trees stretching their branches into the winter sky. Another soldier, also in a winter uniform, hurries towards the scene as if rushing to her aid. The ground is covered in snow and the entire background conveys a feeling of freezing cold. The body language and facial expression of the soldier in the foreground reveal a mixture of exhaustion and apprehension as he holds the woman. The scene exudes drama and urgency, heightened by the wintry surroundings and the life-threatening situation.
