About this work
A man in an ermine-lined cloak, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, holds his hands before his face. He sits on the back of a bear, symbolizing Russia, which wears a crown. At the bear's feet lie an object inscribed 'freedom' and a naked man with a knife in his mouth. In the background, a procession of figures moves through a mountain landscape accompanied by horsemen.
