The scene is a crowded public square on a rainy day. A large group of people stand shoulder to shoulder, sheltering themselves with a multitude of umbrellas. Many of the people appear to be facing towards the same direction where a stage has been set up, although the view is obstructed by the umbrellas. A very large inflatable fist with its middle finger extended upwards stands out in the crowd. In the foreground, a person wearing a black jacket with “GENDARMERY” printed on the back appears to be watching the crowd. The buildings surrounding the square appear to be of historical design. The weather is overcast, with a gray sky. The ground is wet and appears to be paved with stone.
