About this work

The painting shows people fleeing, with a city in the background. It's based on a work by E. Haman, and that's interesting because it tells us the original artist had a vision for this scene. The fact that the signature is reproduced in the print suggests it was meant to be a faithful copy. You can learn more about this style of art at the museum: Museum of Ethnography.
