This print shows a wild, busy scene with lots of people tangled together. Some are standing, some are falling, and a few are on the ground. A woman in a long dress holds a spear, while others look scared or angry. The background has a rocky shore and waves. The title says "The Cartoon of Pisa," but it’s not clear what the story is. The artist used lines and shading to show movement and emotion. Look up Schiavonetti, Luigi to see more of their work.
