This scene evokes the tragedy of famine and human suffering — one person struggling to bear the weight of another’s loss. The kneeling figure symbolises resilience, love, or duty, while the elevated figure embodies helplessness, perhaps death itself. There is a stark contrast between the effort and movement of the carrier and the stillness of the limp body, heightening the tension. The sparseness of detail mirrors the emptiness of despair, making the viewer feel both grief and compassion. Ultimately, it is not just a scene of death, but also of endurance, where human bonds persist even in devastation.
