Drawing shows sparsely drawn tomb designs. On one of them, there is the body of the deceased, with a rope round his neck. The inscription on another refers to two serial murderers , the Vampire of Gałkówek (Stanisław Modzelewski) and the Vampire of the Silesian Basin (Zdzisław Marchwicki). They were both sentenced to death. Convicted criminals are frequently buried in anonymous graves. The artist posits that even they merit a tomb.
