Four men behind barbed wire in front of a concrete building

Rendered in washes of black ink and textured shading, four gaunt men are shown wearing striped uniforms. They are standing inside a barbed wire fence in a yard before a building with a concrete wall. At center-left, a man stands slouching, huddled under a blanket over his shoulders. A man with a shaved head in the foreground at lower left, clenches his jaw, the features of his face hollow and sunken. A man at lower right in a cap stares grimly, while another at center has collapsed on the ground, clutching onto the barbed wire fence. The number 4 appears at upper right.
