This is a drawing of a group of people raising their tools and flags. The scene is dynamic with individuals holding scythes and other implements. Above the crowd, a floating figure appears with a determined expression. In the background is an architectural structure resembling a castle. The composition is rendered in dark tones with strong contrasts.
