Overkill
When the Ten of Swords appears in a reading, it is depicting a person who has come to the end of a chapter, and not come out of it unscathed; on the contrary: they've been horribly hurt emotionally, perhaps betrayed, let down, or someone has deceived them; they have been literally "slayed" in some situation in their life, or at least felt that way.
It can also depict a person who has come to a total grinding halt from sheer exhaustion, mental breakdown or a calamity of some kind which has occurred in their life.
Although this may seem like a terrible card, its actually depicting that the worst is over. There is nothing worse to come now; its time to move onto the next chapter and put this terrible trying time behind the person concerned.
In the picture, the man has ten swords in his back, when simply one would have done the job. This is to demonstrate that although something bad has occurred, and the person is at their lowest point, its not as terrible as they think, life will go on, and they are seeing the situation a lot worse than it really is. Nothing stays the same, and things will get better. Now is the time for a fresh new beginning and outlook.
