Description

Both photos consist of something different. The left photo consists of three people. The three people are a man, a woman, and a skeleton. The man and woman are looking at each other. The woman is on the ground on her knees, and the man is sitting on a platform. The skeleton is behind the woman doing a pirouette-like pose. The right photo consists of two men and horses. One of the men is more elderly with a plow behind the horses. The other man is running alongside the horses waving a stick in the air.
