This image shows a chaotic crowd of people tangled together. Some are standing, others are falling or reaching out. The lines are rough and sketchy, like quick drawings. The whole scene is in one olive-green color, with no background details. The messy style and busy scene fit the Romantic movement, which loved drama and emotion over perfect lines. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
