This print shows a chaotic scene of people in rough clothes, some fighting, others lying on the ground. A woman in a long white robe stands apart, holding a staff, while others scramble or reach out in panic. In the background, a ship and buildings loom under a dark, stormy sky. The artist used dramatic lighting to make the figures stand out sharply against the background. This creates a sense of urgency and chaos. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting technique works.
