- Abstract
-
A man in sleepwear and a nightcap, his legs bare, stands sleepily in front of an open window holding a shotgun, an unmade bed behind him. On the sill of the window sit a candle and a plate of crumbs. Outside the window, in the distance, a cemetery is illuminated by the full moon above. The man's jacket and other clothing items are draped over a chair on the right; his boots are on the floor next to the chair
