About this work

This painting shows three figures in a chaotic scene. It's a busy and dramatic moment, with one figure in plaid interacting with another. The other figure's hat and cane are flying through the air, while a third figure lies on the ground, adding to the humor and confusion. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look into the technique: lithography.
