"The German troups received the formal order to spare private property"
The painting depicts a woman carrying a man across a rooftop, with a cityscape in the background. The woman has long dark hair and wears a long dress, while the man has dark hair and a white shirt. Several people are on the ground behind them. The color palette is sepia-toned, with shades of brown and tan. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner. The scene appears to be a dramatic and intense moment, possibly depicting a wartime or disaster scenario, as suggested by the title.
