- Abstract
-
A hideous, ragged woman looks amorously at her male companion, a burly dustman, as they sift through cinders; two others kneel at their feet, one also using a sieve to sift through the cinders while her companion drinks gin. In the foreground are the bones of a horse; flying overhead a flock of carrion crows
