This is a drawing of a street scene featuring a procession or demonstration. The black and white image depicts a group of individuals marching between tall, urban buildings at night. In the foreground, a person holds a flag, while others around them carry signs. A covered figure is being carried on a stretcher in the center of the drawing. The composition is focused on the collective action and the imposing cityscape surrounding the group, accentuated by a streetlamp providing contrast in lighting.
