The weavers are in the foreground of the painting. Only three weavers are known by name and the artist has not shown the faces of the weavers. They are tending to the wounded and the dead.

• Why are the faces hidden?

• What is the significance of the tartan clothes?

• Which weaver is your attention drawn to? Why?

• Why do you think the artist has included a woman in the group?

Look carefully at the full panel and describe the one face which is partially visible.
