Description:
The majority of the sheet's surface is occupied by the image of a river. In the foreground is a part of a ship's deck with a bridge on which two sailors in helmets are standing with their backs to each other. One of them is leaning forward, clutching binoculars, while the other is aiming a mortar at the sky, which is cut by a black stripe from a burning airplane. The black smoke from the middle of the sky cones out over the horizon. Reinforced concrete structures of a bridge stretch across the river. On the high bank to the left are the outlines of the city. Under the image is the author's inscription in graphite pencil: "From the series 'Kyiv 1941-1945. "Let's not let in" by H. Malakov". In the lower left corner is the monogram "GM/61. Malakov G.V.

Description of the incident location
It was opened on May 27, 1978, in the former City Hall building, an architectural monument of the early 20th century. As of 2022 (before the robbery), the museum's collection included more than 13 thousand works of art and was one of the most interesting museum collections in Ukraine. It includes works of Ukrainian and foreign painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts. From October 31 to November 4, 2022, the Kherson Art Museum was looted by the russian occupiers, and more than 10,000 of its most valuable exhibits were stolen. The cargo was sent to Crimea, and the works (all or part of them) ended up in the Simferopol Central Museum of Tavrida. It is unknown whether everything is still there.
