Dark sepia-toned artwork depicting a group of people arming themselves. The scene takes place in a dimly lit vault. The individuals are on two levels. On the lower level, to the left, a crowd of people are crowded together. Many of the people are holding long weapons such as spears and pitchforks. The people on the right side are on a higher level and are accessing weapons from storage. The background is dark with a lighter area on the left side. The people are dressed in peasant-style clothing with dark, heavy lines suggesting their clothing is worn. The image conveys a sense of urgency, activism, and revolution.
