Visual Description
A large red heart is pierced by three upright swords, their hilts forming a row near the top of the composition beneath the Roman numeral III. Below the heart a naked, crouched figure sits with head bowed and arms wrapped around the knees. The sky behind is cloudy and gray, giving a stormy, mournful atmosphere. A torn parchment at the bottom bears Cyrillic text reading "Страдание" and a small URL "TAROSHOP.RU" is visible.
