The crowd is visible in the foreground, with some spectators standing and others sitting. The atmosphere appears tense and intense, with the fighters engaged in a fierce battle. The lithograph is rendered in black, which adds to the dramatic effect of the scene. The use of shading and texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the action.
