DescriptionThe image is that of an armed conflict set with forest woodland; a line of male figures armed and firing rifles begins in the lower left corner and extends into the center middle ground. In front of the firing figures a river separates them from a line of figures, shrouded in smoke, firing back. A lone male figure has fallen and lies in the foreground just right of center.On View
