The scene depicts a burning fabric effigy in a snow-covered field in Rusalevka, Russia, under a clear blue sky. The effigy, approximately human-sized, is actively engulfed in flames, predominantly around its head and upper torso, with significant charring across its structure. Its arms, extended horizontally, are clad in pink fabric, while its lower body also shows charred material interspersed with pink fabric remnants. The effigy stands upright in deep, undisturbed white snow, which covers the entire foreground and midground. Distinct shadows are cast upon the snow in the lower left. In the background, a wooden fence is visible, beyond which stand several snow-capped wooden buildings and a dense treeline composed of coniferous and bare deciduous trees. No individuals are present in the frame.
