Street Fight [recto]

About this work

This image depicts a chaotic street scene, with a group of people engaged in a heated fight. The scene is rendered in various shades of black and white, with bold lines and expressive brushstrokes. In the foreground, a man is being restrained by several others, while another figure looks on with a mixture of concern and alarm. The background is filled with the silhouettes of buildings and trees, which adds to the sense of tension and urgency. The use of pastel in this piece adds a sense of softness and subtlety to the overall composition, which contrasts with the intensity of the scene.
