This drawing depicts a historical scene of armed individuals in a barricaded street during a period of unrest. A central figure addresses others as debris litters the street. Several individuals are armed with muskets and pistols, with one holding a flag. The architecture and attire suggest a 19th-century setting. In the background, a rider on horseback and figures in combat are enveloped in smoke.
