A historical scene depicting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is seated in a chair with a woman beside him, both facing a stage where a performance is taking place. Another man and woman are seated nearby. A man dressed in black, holding a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, is approaching from the left, aiming the pistol at Lincoln.
