  1. The image shows a young woman in the foreground, dressed in a burgundy or rust-colored garment, with her hands clasped together in what appears to be prayer or anguish. She's positioned at what looks like a wooden barrier or railing, with a large crowd of period-dressed townspeople gathered behind her, all wearing earth-toned clothing and various head coverings typical of peasants and commoners from that era.

  2. A young man (Ben Whishaw) in a blue and green plaid flannel shirt, positioned in what looks like a thoughtfully composed shot. The lighting is soft and natural, coming from what seems to be a window, creating a gentle illumination on one side of his face while leaving subtle shadows on the other.
