A vertically oriented lithograph depicts a crowd of distorted figures in stark black and white. In the lower left, a man in a wide-brimmed hat and string tie grins broadly. To the right, a figure in a medal-covered military jacket also smiles. In the background, animalistic figures holding flaming torches emerge from heavy shadows as they cluster together. Grainy textures and bright highlights blend the figures into a dark, chaotic scene.
