In the work, the artist embodied the image of the last warrior. The soldier knows that he is the last of his comrades, but his facial expression shows determination, will and hope. The character is fully armed: a shield is in his right hand, his body is covered with strong armor, and a sword is depicted in his left hand. The artist surprisingly managed to convey the unique atmosphere of the landscape in the picture - the dazzling morning light, blue shadows, cold, high rocks with a blue tint, dry and lifeless land. . Every young man's duty to protect the motherland is more important than anything else, even if it is his last day. In the work, the author sings about these feelings: defense of the homeland, bravery and courage.
