Black and white sketch on beige paper, depicting a chaotic scene. Three people in the foreground: a man holds another, while a third figure on the ground. A building on fire with smoke and flames in the background. A castle or large building with towers in the distance. The scene is dark and intense, with expressive lines and shading. The artist's style is impressionistic, with loose and gestural drawings. The composition is dynamic, with figures and buildings overlapping. The overall mood is one of destruction and chaos. L'Incendie de Louvain by Auguste Louis Lepère.
