Yours

This is a drawing of a group of figures engaged in a scene of commotion or struggle. The drawing features several figures in dynamic poses, with two figures at the front facing away with their arms raised and swords by their sides. There is movement as figures behind them gesture in various ways. A figure on the left is crouched, observing the central figures. On the right, two individuals are interacting with a woman holding a child. The drawing uses fine lines and shading to depict musculature and expressions of tension on the faces.
