About this work

This etching shows a crowded street fight with soldiers and civilians tangled up in chaos. Smoke rises from fires in the background. Guns and bayonets point in all directions. The artist used etching to make this image. He scratched lines into a metal plate, then inked it. The lines create dark shadows and sharp highlights. You can almost feel the tension in the scene. Look next at Duclos, Antoine-Jean.
