From the left, a man has blood on his hand, a woman seated at a round table has cut her finger and is bleeding, a maid is wrapping a bandage around her finger, a boy outside has fallen off a ladder and his knee is bleeding, a baby in a high chair has her head wrapped in a bandage, the little girl standing next to the baby has a bandaged hand, the cook in the kitchen is being splattered by hot liquid from something on the stove, and an elderly man is seated in a chair with his right leg wrapped in bandages.
