A black and white lithograph depicting a dynamic and crowded scene with multiple figures in various states of motion and emotion. The central figure appears to be a shirtless man being held back or supported by others around him. The expressions on the faces range from concern to shock, and the composition conveys a sense of chaos and intensity. The artwork is detailed, with strong contrasts and a sense of depth created by the overlapping figures. There are inscriptions at the bottom, suggesting the piece is titled and signed by the artist.
