A man in heavy furs and skins kneels beside a dead animal, pausing for a moment to gaze into the distance. Hovering a knife over the animal’s leg, we observe a moment of reflection and appreciation for a life taken. The vast, barren landscape surrounds him, emphasizing his isolation. Using muted colors and soft brushstrokes to convey a sense of stillness and introspection, Horrocks invites the viewer to share in the man's contemplation.
