This is one of the most famous paintings representing the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH) at Karbalaa in the 10th of Muharram 61 AH (approx. 20 October 680 AD). The ladies with the now masterless horse - Zuljana - weeping after the martyrdom of the Imam.
The painting is called "The evening of Ashura" and is drawn by the Iranian artist Mahmoud Farshchian.

The point is that you can say whatever you want, without insulting the others. And that's why "we were deeply shocked seeing a Danish newspaper (Jyllands Posten) offending almost 1 billion Muslims around the world by publishing a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed - PBUH&HF - seen as a terrorist carrying bombs on his head!
