DescriptionThe lower half of the image is a crowd of men, mostly working class figures wearing caps; however the periphery is dotted with policemen. Above the crowd a lone male figure stands with his right arm extended and his hand making a thumbs up sign. The back ground is a suggestion of an industrial setting made with light and shadow, with smoke stack like shapes on the upper right.
